Ghoul

The Ghoul is a creature found in abundance in Level 5.5, Level 7, and Level 7.5. They are hostile to the player, hitting the player with quick and powerful strikes from the side or slamming down on they player with both of their hands from above. They cannot be affected by Mind Thaumaturgy.

Ghouls are naked with little resistance to most attacks, Slash damage is their primary weakness. Ghouls easily trip and fall, making them easy targets for overhead attacks. Normally they fight alongside one another in dark areas and attack relentlessly with their claws which do very high slash and impact damage. Much of the damage they deal can be mitigated by wearing plate armour, their attacks cannot crush through very easily.

Alpha Ghouls
Alpha Ghouls are a variant of the regular Ghouls, found in Level 7 and Level 7.5. They are taller than regular ghouls and boast stronger attacks and higher stamina. They are seemingly more resistant to slashing damage than regular ghouls, likely due to the small spikes that cover them. Like their smaller counter-part, they are completely immune to Mind Thaumaturgy.

Lore
Using Mind Sense on these creatures reveals them to be perpetually in a calm state despite their hostility and sometimes fear for the player characters and Derrin.
