Description
With their razor-sharp teeth and jagged claws, ghouls roam the night in packs, driven by an insatiable hunger for humanoid flesh.
The Alpha Ghoul, is often a more physically imposing variation of the species. Often seen towering a few feet above its smaller companions. Typically male, but not always often found ruling its pack through brute force.
When the ghouls scavenge their prey, The Alpha Ghoul is given first chances to eat and consume its meal. This has caused the Alpha Ghoul to have increased vitality and physical strength compared to the others in its pack.
The Alpha Ghoul may sometimes posses unique physical and martial traits compared to its companions, whether a natural or magically enhanced defect scholars have not decided. As capturing a live ghoul is often more complicated than eradicating their nests when found.
