Ghoul

A corpse-eating undead creature with unnatural speed and strength.

It was once a person who desecrated a grave — or so the stories say. Now it's a hunched, grey-skinned thing with elongated fingers and too many teeth. It sniffs the air in your direction and lopes toward you at a dead sprint.
