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.
Note: Contrary to some people's beliefs, it is still possible to become a ghoul on small maps!
Causes
- Consuming
Intestine Melon, 
Human Flesh, 
Mouldy Ham Sandwich, 
Suspicious-looking Vegetable, 
Dodgy Homemade Dish, 
Meaty Bone, 
Unspecified Meat or 
Fleshroom Puree all give an unknown (estimated to be relatively low) chance of becoming a Ghoul. (see Ghoul Discussion page) - Consuming
Traveller's corpse which has a much higher chance to transform into a 
Ghoul.
Abilities
- Consume a
Citizen:
- You can only eat a Citizen once a day.
- Any kill (
Resident and 
Hero alike) grants the Ghoul 1 Hero day. - Eating a Resident or Hero grants 7
(maximum + 1) for a healthy person. - The hunger meter of the Ghoul is set back to zero hunger upon a kill.
- A Ghoul can still consume Citizens inside
Town, but at the risk of getting caught and being recorded on 
The Great Register:
An abominable crime has been committed: [Ghoul] was seen devouring [Citizen] in their house!
- You can only eat a
- The choice to enter and leave the
Town Gates without being recorded on The Great Register.
- Inside the Town Gates the option to Leave discretely (sic) appears.
- Outside the Town Gates the option to Sneak into the town appears.
- Inside the
- No risk of death from
Dehydration or 
Infection. - Cannot become
Thirsty or Infected. - Brings 20
Defence bonus, along with a +5% survival chance, when a Ghoul signs up for 
Watchmen.
Risks
- The 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 if caught. - Drinking a
Water Ration (or any form of water) will 
Wound the Ghoul and will not give any . - Upon eating a live Citizen, any statuses like
Hooked!, 
Drugged, 
Drunk, and 
Hungover will be passed over from the victim to the Ghoul. - An attack from any Citizen is guaranteed to kill a Ghoul.
- When you "eat" a other citizen outside and don´t have enough CP to control the zone alone - you will get stuck immidiatly (no time/countdown to leave the zone)
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 has a hunger meter informing them of the time they have left before they die of hunger.
- Every day after
The Attack, the Ghoul will become approximately 25% more hungry. Once the meter reaches 100% the Ghoul will die of hunger. This gives approximately 4 or 5 days before the hunger meter fills up completely.
- A Hero Ghoul can use the
Cheat death hero ability to survive an extra day at over 100% hunger.
- A
- The following items can be consumed to deplete their increasing hunger meter, but with different effectiveness:
- Citizen (yes, your neighbor next door)
- Completely empties the hunger meter
- Does not give the
Fed status. - 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 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
- Meaty Bone
- Empties approximately 1/8 of the hunger bar
- Gives the Fed status like normal food.
- 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!
Texts in your town's death page:
Famished ghoul (If you are a ghoul and die of hunger)
Fight (Ghoul) (If you are a ghoul and get killed by another citizen attacking you)
Murder (Ghoul) (If you are eaten by a ghoul)
Ghoul killing a citizen in town:
Without a moment's hesitation you throw yourself at [username]], 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.
Your were spotted! The citizens have been warned!
Flavor text in a dead Ghoul's house:
"More obvious clues could not be left. [username] had definitely crossed the boundaries of crazy: gnawed bones, shredded human entrails, half-eaten animal remains... Their old house is a rancid mass grave that leaves us in no doubt: [username] was a ghoul! "
Text in the house of someone whose corpse was eaten by a ghoul:
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BODY? No idea! The body has disappeared without trace...They must be rotting somewhere outside... Perhaps they'll get back up and visit you during the night.
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 as a Ghoul has no effects. - More than one Ghoul can exist in a town at the same time. The existence of one does not stop another one appearing.
- Even if a ghoul kills someone by eating them, their corpse will still be in town. A ghoul can then eat their corpse. So they can be eaten twice.
