Ghouls - Eaters of The Dead

Ghoul (Revised): CR 1 Very Simple Creature

Ghoul, Dusk Feeder: CR 3 Very Simple Creature
Crypt Hulk: CR 5 Very Simple Creature
Hi everyone! Today, we're sharing a collection of new and revised ghouls. The revised stat blocks have been modified to make running ghoul swarms more feasible. Their paralytic venom now has degrees of failure, so it's possible for victims to be debilitated but still able to fight, rather than always being completely paralyzed on failure.
The new ghouls include the Dusk Feeders, which are a stealthier ghoul variant, and the Crypt Hulk, which is a massive brute of a ghoul mutated by a twisted vampiric ritual that grants it size, strength, and regenerative powers.
Have fun unleashing these wretches on your players, and stay tuned for more morbid horrors!

Nice - your title makes me want them to actually have an ability where they *eat* fresh corpses on the battlefield. Like, how terrifying would it be to have a party member go down and then the ghouls move in and devour the body?? That would be nuts. Maybe not really a good idea in the DnD metagame, but damn that would scare the hell out of players
Haha, yeah, it might make resurrection a bit harder, but there's nothing stopping a DM from having the ghoul use its action each round to devour part of a body that dropped in combat. The ghouls in Warcraft 3 have an ability to devour corpses to regain health, which could be a neat mechanical addition.
this is one of the ones I've been waiting for
