Homebrew Ghoul Species Details
Humanoid looking undead creature, unlike spirits these creatures weren't once alive, so they have no trace of humanity. Beasts of the underworld, once serving Eris but since got liberated and started a rebellion, gaining more of a conscious. Once they escape Eris' ruthless reign, the goddess of the sun didn't trust them, as they had previously been monsters of destruction, so she had damned them to be weak in her presence, so during the day their strength is drained, they must hide from her rays of sun in order to keep some strength, causing them to be almost strictly creatures of the night. Aurora's sister though, believed that these creatures were not beyond redemption, so to compensate for her sister's hatred, she gave mercy, giving the creatures full reign at night, making them stronger, faster, and ultimately, better. Due to this the creatures had given their lives in return, devoting their time, effort, and energy in the name of their merciful goddess moon.
