	Games - Ghoul

In White Wolf Game Studio's role-playing games and books set in the World of Darkness, a ghoul is a living being (human or animal) that has become a slave to a vampire and addicted to vampiric blood (vitae).

Any kind of animal, including a human, can be turned into a ghoul by a process similar to that of the blood bond among vampires; that is, by drinking several times from the vitae of a vampire. After three doses, the ghoul becomes addicted and needs to be resupplied with its master's blood.

Like a vampire, the ghoul craves for blood, heals abnormally faster, can develop some supernatural Disciplines, and ages very slowly if anything; but unlike a vampire, the ghoul is fully awake during the day and can walk under the Sun. A ghoul can also enter a frenzy, though not so easily as a vampire.

Human ghouls have been useful to vampires for a long time, working as servants, seneschals, and generally protecting their masters. Whole families of ghouls and revenants were at the service of Tzimisce landlords in Eastern Europe during the Dark Ages. The Cainite Heresy was ruled by vampires but administratively run mostly by ghouls.

Animal ghouls can also be extremely useful, especially for vampires with the Discipline of Animalism. The Tzimisce lords tended to employ horse ghouls for riding. From fused combinations of animal ghouls, modified and distorted by the Discipline of Vicissitude, the Tzimisce also created vozhd, huge living war machines.
