Ghoul (Arabic lore) – "The Arabic stories of the ghole spread east and were adopted by the people of the Orient, where it evolved as a type of vampiric spirit called a ghoul." [ 21 ] Variants: Alqul (Arabia), [ 22 ] Aluga (Bible; Proverbs 30:15), [ 23 ] Balbal (Tagbanua, Philippines), [ 15 ] Ghoulas (Algeria); [ 21 ] Katacan (Sri Lanka).
A ghoul is said to be created on the death of a man or woman who savored the taste of flesh. They not only eat the dead, but also prey on the unwary living. Ghouls can paralyze their victims with a touch, though elves are immune. Aside from the standard variety, a number of other forms, like the abyssal ghoul, exist.
The concept of the ghoul originated in pre-Islamic Arabian religion. [1] Modern fiction often uses the term to label a specific kind of monster. By extension, the word "ghoul" is also used in a derogatory sense to refer to a person who delights in the macabre or whose occupation directly involves death, such as a gravedigger or graverobber.
