About ghouls

Ghouls devour the flesh of corpses and hunger for that of the living. Their claws can cause  paralysis, and they are immune to Poison.

Ghouls can be created by the level 5 Necromancy spell,  Animate Dead: Ghoul, which can be learned by Wizards and Clerics. These ghouls have a higher level and differing abilities. See Ghoul (Animate Dead).

The Ghouls summoned by the special spell Danse Macabre, which is acquired from reading the Necromancy of Thay, are yet another distinct variant. See Ghoul (Danse Macabre).
