Right now I’m working on revamping undead minions and how necromancy functions. Basically necromancers raise corpses to lesser undead but things like ghouls are more complex to make requiring not only a corpse but some animal parts to make said ghouls such as fangs, fur, and claws. Lesser undead like zombies and skeletons might remember things from when they were alive but it’s only memories their souls have long since passed on leaving only an empty corpse.

Ghouls have always been creature I found interesting. My take on ghouls is that when created and raised they start off as highly capable feral murder monsters able to scale walls and climb ceilings. But the way I see it most undead become smarter the longer they exist. This leads to the ghouls becoming very intelligent and capable of acting as managers of lesser undead that serve a necromancer. But ghouls can get very overprotective of their masters to the point of planing to kill anything that poses a threat to them in a large radius. And with their intelligence ghouls tend to get… creative on how to deal with said threats in a way that scares off future threats.
