Ghouls are swift and dexterous "cannon fodder" monsters that swarm players. Easy to kill one at a time, harder in greater numbers. Ghouls are undead monsters.

Ghouls might be undead, but are nothing like slow shambling zombies; the Ghouls are fast and uncanny, running hunched over in a bestial, almost quadrupedal style. They climb quickly and leap out at the player from all angles.

The primary advice to stay alive against Ghouls seems to just be avoid being swarmed from all directions, and use skills like the Barbarian Berserker skill Leap Attack or the Wizard spell Arcane Teleport (preferably with a Striking Rune) or the Witch Doctor spells Horrify or Mass Confusion.

Grimsmack - Wortham

Lore[edit | edit source]

Ghouls are stronger than most risen dead, but they gain their fortitude through horrific means -- feasting upon human corpses. These creatures are least dangerous while eating, but do not disturb them or it shall be your limbs between their teeth. -- Deckard Cain

Development[edit | edit source]

Ghouls were first seen in the WWI 2008 gameplay video, and changed little since then. The Ghouls in the WWI 2008 gameplay video had significantly less health than in later gameplay videos as well as the BlizzCon 2008 demo. This is not spectacular though, as it seems that video had all mob's health turned way down to show the strength of the Barbarian.

Gallery[edit | edit source]

Ghouls have red blood, surprisingly.
Ghouls spawn in mobs, and climb nimbly.

-}}Ghouls are a new monster type for [[Diablo III]]. These swarming [[monster]]s appear to be the [[Zombie]] cannon fodder of [[Diablo III]]. They are blue-skinned [[undead]] who spawn in great numbers, are quite but fleet of foot and quick of movement, but are fairly weak and easy too kill. Ghouls can be seem climbing up the walls and swarming the [[Barbarian]] in the beginning of the [[WWI 2008]] [[gameplay movie]]. They die almost as fast as they race to battle (which is quite quickly).
-Ghouls might be undead, but are nothing like slow shambling zombies; the Ghouls are fast and uncanny, running hunched over in a bestial, almost quadrupedal style. They climb quickly and leap out at the player from all angles, scaling a huge wall to get into the action in the WWI 2008 gameplay movie. Ghouls generally fight with a cruel jagged sword that looks like fangs.

-Nothing is known about the Ghoul. They seem to be re-animated corpses, like [[Zombie]]s and other [[undead]] creatures, but they are more intelligent, cunning and dexterous. Since they are so easy to kill, they must still be relatively easy to summon for a [[Necromancer]].
