Ghoul

Ghoul is a nocturnal, hostile graveyard predator often described in field notes as a lank, humanoid form that moves with unsettling patience. Smell: a sickly-sweet oil and old rot, like long-stagnant fat warmed by the night air with a metallic undertone. Sound: a low, wet rasp—nails against stone, the soft scour of something dragged, and on rare occasions an eerie mimicry of distant voices. Temperature: the air around a ghoul saps warmth; nearby surfaces feel damp and clammy, as if the ground itself exhales a bone-chill. Observed behavior suggests a creature drawn to the unguarded, the disturbed, and to sites where death has been left uncovered.
