• Stench. Any creature other than another ghulaz that starts its turn within 10 feet of a ghulaz must make a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or take 7 (2d6) necrotic damage on a failure or half as much on a success.

ABOUT

Ghulaz are undead creatures rumored to have originated on another plane of existence. These vile creatures often dwell in packs that include gholles and/or once-human ghouls. These murderous monstrosities are akin to the gholle and are every bit as evil.

These creatures stand about six feet tall and have clawed hands and feet of animal nature despite their human-like fingers and toes. Their skull is also humanoid in shape, albeit more akin to that of a gorilla. It is elongated, with massive, hyena-like jaws, glaring bestial eyes, and hyena-like ears. These vile things seem to be an amalgam of the worst features of a hound, a baboon, and a human, blending them into a leering, fanged visage of demonic appearance. They have long arms corded with muscle that terminate in hideous clawed hands and feet.
