__NOTOC__
After the [[Northern Wars#2nd Nilfgaard-Nordling War|Great War]], [[necrophage]]s generally grew bolder and multiplied in the [[Βόρεια Βασίλεια]]. '''Ghouls''' are the most common corpse-eaters and usually roam around in packs. For a ghoul, a living [[Ανθρώπινων]] is raw material that must be processed before it can become a meal. Shredded to pieces with fangs and claws, the Ανθρώπινων corpse should then be left to age.

{{BookQuote|LW,VR4|116|148|I looked for the words "Witcher urgently needed". And then there'd be a sacred site, a dungeon, necropolis or ruins, forest ravine or grotto hidden in the mountains, full of bones and stinking carcasses. Some creatures which lived to kill, out of hunger, for pleasure, or invoked by some sick will. A manticore, wyvern, fogler, aeschna, ilyocoris, chimera, leshy, vampire, ghoul, graveir, were-wolf, giant scorpion, striga, black annis, kikimora, vypper... so many I've killed.}}

A horrible, low, and nasty beast, this abomination nests in cemeteries, old burial mounds (kurgans), necropolises, and on battlefields. Disgusting in form and character, it emerges to feed usually during the full moon, and well-rotted corpses are a delicacy for it. When driven by hunger, the ghoul will not hesitate to prey on the living. Only by fire, silver, and bright light can harm it. For this reason, it hunts only at night. 

=== {{Bestiary}} ===
:''"Ghouls are said to have been Ανθρώπινωνs who were once forced into cannibalism and, after many years spent in dark [[crypts]], underwent a horrifying transformation. Only Ανθρώπινων flesh can satisfy their eternal evil hunger, so they kill people and store the remains in the recesses of their lairs."''

=== Πηγή ===
:* In Chapter I, an "[[:Image:People Grandma full.png|old woman]]" will tell Γκέραλτ about Ghouls in exchange for food. The conversation does result in a bestiary entry.
:* Spending a Bronze talent on the [[Νοημοσύνη#Level Two|Monster Lore]] option adds bestiary entries for [[graveir]]s, ghouls, [[drowner]]s and [[barghest]]s.

=== Notes ===
: In English, during the [[:Κατηγορία:The Witcher Πρόλογος‎|Πρόλογος‎]], [[Lambert]] claims the [[Μαχητικά στυλ του Witcher#Fast style|Fast Style]] is best to use against ghouls, but the conversation does not result in a bestiary entry. His suggestion contradicts the official bestiary's entry above, which claims the [[Μαχητικά στυλ του Witcher#Strong style|Strong Style]] is best against ghouls. Considering that originally (in Polish) he mentions [[barghest]]s and [[ghost]]s as ideal victims of ''Addan Aenye'', this is most likely just a translator's mistake.

== [[Monsterbook]] ==
''Developer [[CD Projekt]]'s characterization of the ghoul taken from the monsterbook, which was enclosed with the Collectors Edition of the computer game [[The Witcher (παιχνίδι για υπολογιστή)|The Witcher]] for Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic:

Ghouls, like drowners, appear often in the game. Γκέραλτ frequently has the opportunity to practice his silver sword techniques on this monster. Since the drowner became grotesque, we made the ghoul both scary and a bit pathetic, without rendering him humorous. As a foul scavenger, he has all the necessary attributes: deadly pale, spotted skin, a nose-less head resembling a skull, and a strong jaw capable of cracking open any bone. At bit of artistic trickery and clear connotations went into creating the model for this rather dumb, hideous creature.

The ghoul is no joke — it is stocky, and ready to attack. It loves feasting on Ανθρώπινων cadavers, but has nothing against fresh warm meat. When it grabs its prey with its apelike arms, there is no escape.
