Ghouls is a type of monster that can only be found in Lower and Upper Prison (Act 1)

According to Necropolis league's league mechanic UI, Ghouls is a type of beast. Even it is not capturable as a yellow beast in Bestiary.

It also has humanoid internal use monster tag,[1] which is not displayed in-game. Unlike real world lore (see wikipedia), ghouls in Wraeclast are not demons.

Lore

Various lore suggest that the people in Wraeclast may turn into Ghoul. The actual ghouls in prisons may developed into having some culture, as they wear clothes. Or as other lore suggests, they are in fact former human.

"

Of my fellow patrons, only two live. The others have fallen. Their blood is everywhere. The survivors, Gemlings both... their skin shrivels and greys to the hue of necrosis. Their gems flare with unholy lustre. Their eyes... black as... hatred.

A gemling ghoul... it twisted off a corpse's head... gnaws at skull like dog. My head now... visions clawing at me... Thinking burns! I see... horror, envy the mute corpses at my... feet. Words flay me... flee me. All is madness...

"

Shavronne of Umbra, the very witch that made Brutus the man he was. I don’t know if she’s a ghost, a ghoul or some other death-scorning creature I’ve never heard of, but she’s up there, tinkering away with her black arts and twisting nature around her bony old fingers.
