Ghouls

As horrible as the ghosts that return to the land of the dead to annihilate the living may seem, there are some that can surpass their cruelty – and they are, or rather were, the living themselves. Not all flee in terror at the sight of an army of the undead, some welcome them and revel in the suffering they bring. It is said that some join the ranks of the revenants by choice, fighting and killing at their side, hoping to get rewarded with an endless existence as an undead. They feed on the rotten flesh of the dead and wallow in putrescence until their body begins to decay, and their only desires are death, destruction, and to feed on flesh. Thus, they themselves become undead and are some of the cruellest and most dangerous of their kind, for they have chosen this path of their own free will. However, the last remnants of this free will make these creatures difficult to control by the workers of magic. But once they are on the battlefield, smell the fear in their enemies, and taste the blood of their victims, they are formidable foes. Their bite is especially dangerous, causing an infection that can kill even after days or weeks if left untreated.
