Through the course of time, people change. In an apocalypse, over time, some people rise up to with incredible powers and protect others, while some become sick of the routine hide and seek with zombies and become antisocial. Some, however, have become monstrous...literally. Rumor has it that some citizens, by accident or on purpose, become partially infected; they have managed to survive, but with a new goal in life...devouring other humans.

Causes

• Consuming Intestine Melon Intestine Melon, Human Flesh Human Flesh, Mouldy Ham Sandwich Mouldy Ham Sandwich, Suspicious-looking Vegetable Suspicious-looking Vegetable, Dodgy Homemade Dish Dodgy Homemade Dish, Meaty Bone Meaty Bone, Unspecified Meat Unspecified Meat or Fleshroom Puree Fleshroom Puree all give an unknown (estimated to be relatively low) chance of becoming a Ghoul. (see Ghoul Discussion page)
• Consuming Traveller's corpse Traveller's corpse which has a much higher chance to transform into a Ghoul Ghoul.

Abilities

• Consume a Citizen Citizen:
  • You can only eat a Citizen Citizen once a day.
  • Any kill (Resident Resident and Hero Hero alike) grants the Ghoul Ghoul 1 Hero Hero day.
  • Eating a Resident Resident grants 6 (or 5 if Wounded Wounded), while a tastier Hero Hero grants 7 (maximum + 1).
  • The hunger meter of the Ghoul Ghoul is set back to zero hunger upon a kill.
  • A Ghoul Ghoul can still consume Citizen Citizens inside Town Town, but at the risk of getting caught and being recorded on Registers The Great Register:
    An abominable crime has been committed: [Ghoul] was seen devouring [Citizen] in their house!
    • If the Ghoul Ghoul is Shunned Shunned, then their actions are restricted and cannot consume others inside Town Town.
• The choice to enter and leave the Town Gates Town Gates without being recorded on Registers The Great Register.
• No risk of death from Dehydrated! Dehydration or Infected Infected.
• Cannot become Thirsty Thirsty or Infected Infected.
• Brings 20 Defence Defence bonus, along with a 100% survival chance, when a Ghoul Ghoul works as a Watchman Watchman.

Risks

• The Ghoul Ghoul must consume a "human flesh related item" (or an entire human) periodically, otherwise they will die of hunger.
• Extremely antisocial behavior (killing of citizens) will usually result in detest and violence, and possibly a trip to the Gallows Gallows if caught.
• Cannot consume water, which is a source of .
• Upon eating a live Citizen Citizen, any statuses like Hooked! Hooked!, Drugged Drugged, Drunk Drunk, and Hungover Hungover will be passed over from the victim to the Ghoul Ghoul.
• An attack from any Citizen Citizen is guaranteed to kill a Ghoul Ghoul.

Hunger

All Ghouls experience hunger that cannot be satisfied by Conventional Food. To properly fill their stomach (for a while), Ghouls must consume something rich in protein, like human flesh.

• Every Ghoul Ghoul has a hunger meter informing them of the time they have left before they die of hunger.
• Every day after The Attack The Attack, the Ghoul Ghoul will become approximately 25% more hungry. Once the meter reaches 100% the Ghoul Ghoul will die of hunger. This gives approximately 4 or 5 days before the hunger meter fills up completely.
  • A Hero Hero Ghoul Ghoul can use the Cheat Death Cheat death hero ability to survive an extra day at over 100% hunger.
• The following items can be consumed to deplete their increasing hunger meter, but with different effectiveness:
  • Citizen Citizen (yes, your neighbor next door)
    • Completely empties the hunger meter
    • Gives 6 for a Citizen Citizen
    • Gives 7 for a Hero Hero
    • Text:
      Without a moment's hesitation you throw yourself at [citizen], teeth bared! Leaving them no time to react, your barrage of blows quickly cause them to lose consciousness.

      ---

      When you are finally sure that your victim isn't getting up, you finish the job by eating them.

      ---

      There you have it, it's done.
    • If any Status Effects Status was transferred over:
      You have inherited certain health traits from your victim!
    • If the crime was detected (inside Town):
      You were spotted! The citizens have been warned!
  • Human Flesh Human Flesh
  • Meaty Bone Meaty Bone
  • Corpse (check a house before the body is disposed of)
    • Text:
      It's not as appetising as a nice, fresh, wriggling human, but it does the job and makes your voracity subside... a little. Fortunately, the meat way quite gamey, this meal would have been dreadful otherwise.
    • Does not replenish
    • Only 1 corpse per day

Upon becoming a ghoul:

You have been transformed into a Ghoul!

The appearance of small brownish marks on your body should have given you cause for concern, but you naively supposed you had some kind of benign infection from being out in the sun all the time. Any remaining doubt has been erased by the uncontrollable hunger for human flesh which now grips you... A terrifying need which you must satisfy QUICKLY. Or die.

You are now a ghoul. A new horizon is open to you : your neighbours and former allies have become your prey.

Some survival tips :

don't tell anyone about it! You will be killed,

keep an eye on your Hunger gauge, which can be seen alongside your health status,

devour a fellow citizen (preferably outside the town) to decrease your Hunger,

eat human flesh to reduce your Hunger slightly.

The Ghoul game guide is now available for consultation!

It contains all the essential information for your survival, and yeah, why not, your victory over humanity...

Upon killing a ghoul:

You violently attacked [citizen]! The fight degenerated rapidly and resulted in you seriously wounding the other citizen!

Unexpectedly, [citizen] collapsed with a ungodly gurgle, their eyes rolling back in their head... Their body is literally decomposing in places and the smell of death fills the air! The horrible truth slaps you in the face: [citizen] was a ghoul! !

The citizens have all been told...

Upon attempting to eat another ghoul as a ghoul:

You cannot attack this citizen... They seem to smell different like others. Just a minute... They're a Ghoul, just like you!

Notes

• In Season 6, Ghouls were added as a test.
  • According to Epoq, "Ghouls are coming on a trial basis. As we have never had ghouls here before, we'll try it out and if you guys don't like them, we'll try to get them to leave again. They are pretty stubborn, but we'll get there!"
• Consuming a Paracetoid 7g Paracetoid 7g as a Ghoul Ghoul has no effects.
• More than one Ghoul Ghoul can exist in a town at the same time. The existence of one does not stop another one appearing.
