Legend of the Ghouls

Ghouls first appeared in One Thousand and One Arabian Nights as a jinn and have since been associated with graveyards, human flesh eating, undead.  Another type of Ghoul is associated with the desert as shape shifters into various forms of animals but for some reason unable to take the shape of a hyena.

Since the day they were invented, by Shahrazad they have crept into the writings of Edgard Allen Poe, Jim Baker, Lord Byron, J. K. Rowling, R. L. Stine and even Hans Christian Anderson.  They have preyed on bodies in graves, children, blood, been monkey like and pets of wizards, and now we have the Valen's version of the Ghoul.

Our Valen Ghoul can be good or evil, but they are almost always spies who can be invisible or appear as a mist but most office they inhabit the body of a criminal type, draining the life from them until they are no more than a husk to be shed and traded in for a newer model.  So a word of warning -- if you have a shady friend, who is a slow witted bully and lazy enough to only take what he needs to get by and suddenly becomes smarter than the average low life - he ay be infested by a Ghoul.

Sweet dreams.
