Notes

• These Ghouls have the Condition Gnawing Horde, which makes them uncontrollable.
• These Ghouls have a variation of Death Burst which deals 6d6Necrotic with a Dexterity saving throw for half. This affects allies and enemies alike, and can cause a chain reaction with other Ghouls. This does not have a name or icon or appear under Notable Features.
• Ghouls are immune to  Demonspirit Madness. This prevents them from being driven  Mad due to a failed Wisdom saving throw when the summoner wears Abyss Beckoners.
