Revised for Season 17

Through the course of time, people change. In an apocalypse, over time, some people rise up to with incredible powers and protect others, while some become sick of the routine hide and seek with zombies and become antisocial. Some, however, have become monstrous...literally. Rumor has it that some citizens, by accident or on purpose, become partially infected; they have managed to survive, but with a new goal in life...devouring other humans.

Causes

• Consuming Traveller's Corpse has a 90% chance to transform the Citizen into a Ghoul.
  • If not, then the citizen will very likely become Infected instead.
• Consuming Meaty Bone, Human Flesh or Fleshroom Puree also has a low chance to transform the citizen into a Ghoul.
• In Hardcore Towns, a random citizen becomes a Ghoul every 3 days, starting with day 3.
  • If one of the random Ghouls dies without eating another citizen beforehand, there will be a punitive random Ghoul the next day.

Ghoulism

• Ghouls have the ability to devour other citizens and Corpses.
• They have the choice to enter and leave the Town Gates without being recorded on the Registers.
• No risk of death from Dehydration or Infection.
  • Upon becoming a ghoul, Wounded, Infection, and any thirst status will go away.
• Cannot become Thirsty, Dehydrated! or Infected.
• Drinking a Water Ration (or any form of water) will Wound the Ghoul and will not give any .
  • Drinking a Mystic Potion will Wound the Ghoul, they will not gain any , but will be able to safely pick up Tortured Souls.
• An attack from any Citizen is guaranteed to kill a Ghoul.
• Consuming a Paracetoid 7g as a Ghoul will not cure the Ghoul, but still will give the Drugged and even the Immunised status.
• More than one Ghoul can exist in a town at the same time. The existence of one does not stop another one appearing.

• The status Ghoul has an influence on Watch:

• It changes the watchman's chance of survival by +5 %.

Ghoul hunger

• All Ghouls experience 'hunger' that must be satisfied periodically.
• There is a voracity meter below the status bar informing of the approximate amount of time they have left before dying of hunger.
  • The hunger meter fills up from left to right as a red bar.
  • At the 40 % mark is a red line. When the hunger crosses this red line, the Ghoul dies of hunger after The Attack. At the 40 % mark itself, the ghoul will not die of hunger.
  • Every day after The Attack, the Ghoul's voracity will increase by 25 % of the entire meter. This gives 2 days before the ghoul dies of famish.
  • A Hero Ghoul can use the Cheat Death hero ability to survive an extra day at over 40 % hunger if the University skills at Expert level (U3) are unlocked and activated.

Food table for ghouls, stated are for a healthy person, doesn't matter if eaten in/outside of town.:

Food type	Hunger decrease	grants Fed	grants	Notes
Citizen	65 %	NO	7	Possible once per day and even if Fed.
Human Flesh	15 %	YES	6	Not possible if already Fed.
Meaty Bone	10 %	YES	6	Not possible if already Fed.
Traveller's Corpse	30 %	YES	6	Not possible if already Fed.
Corpse (at Homes before bodies are disposed)	10 %	NO	0	Possible once per day and even if Fed.
other Food	0 %	YES	6/7	As you gain Fed, but no voracity reduced, beware!

• A Ghoul may consume Citizens inside Town, but at the risk of getting caught and being recorded on The Great Register.
  • Consuming inside leaves behind a corpse in the victim's Home.
  • It is not allowed for a Ghoul to kill any Citizen at the town gates.
  • If the Ghoul is Shunned, then they cannot consume others inside Town.
• Any statuses like Hooked!, Drugged, Drunk, and Hungover will be passed over from the victim to the Ghoul.
• A Ghoul may consume 1 Citizen and 1 corpse per day, even when Fed.

Removal

• Consuming a Ghoul Vaccine as a Ghoul will cure the Ghoul immediately.

Changes

• In Season 6:
  • Ghouls were added as a test.
  • According to Epoq, "Ghouls are coming on a trial basis. As we have never had ghouls here before, we'll try it out and if you guys don't like them, we'll try to get them to leave again. They are pretty stubborn, but we'll get there!"
• In Season 7:
  • Traveller's Corpse, Unspecified Meat, Meaty Bone, Human Flesh and Fleshroom Puree has a chance to turn citizens into Ghouls.
    • The possibility of turning into Ghouls from "Conventional foods", namely Intestine Melon, Mouldy Ham Sandwich, Suspicious-looking Vegetable and Dodgy Homemade Dish were removed.
    • The Traveller's Corpse Ghoul transformation rate was raised from 80% to 90% to compensate such changes.
• In Season 12:
  • Watchmen points provided by Ghoul reduced from 20 to 0 while safety remains at 5.
