Objects of fear or pity, and often both, ghouls are metahumans infected with the virulent Krieger strain of HMHVV, the human-metahuman vampiric virus. The disease causes extreme changes in the victim’s body. He loses all body hair, and the skin becomes a grayish-tinted, scabrous hide. The fingers grow elongated, and the nails harden into sharp claws. The teeth become longer and sharper, and the eyes film over, leaving featureless white orbs glaring out of their sockets. The disease also wreaks havoc on the victim’s intellect, leaving many ghouls mindless, vicious eating machines. Most ghouls retain much of their personality and intellect, but even these are generally traumatized and changed from their pre-Krieger state. They are ostracized from “normal” society because of the diet they’re forced to subsist on. Ghouls must eat raw meat to survive, and a significant portion of that must be in the form of raw metahuman flesh. While they often scavenge their food from graveyards and organlegging chopshops, they’re not above hunting. When they hunt, they usually do so in packs of six to twenty individuals. They live in isolated areas, away from prying eyes but close enough to a metahuman population for them to feed. Instinct: Alimentarse
