Special Traits

Actions

• Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +1 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 4 (1d6 + 1) piercing damage.
• Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 3 (1d4 + 1) slashing damage. If the target is a creature other than an elf or undead, it must succeed on a DC 9 Constitution saving throw, or be stunned until the end of the ghoul’s next turn. Creatures that are immune to being paralyzed are immune to this ability.

About

Generations of poor feeding can lead to weedy and stunted ghouls; less of a physical threat, perhaps, but often starving and desperate.
