-Despite their load of starting intrinsics and special melee attacks, ghouls are hard to play. They start with fresh corpses in place of their role's starting [[food ration]]s, sometimes boosting starting [[strength]] or [[constitution]] to allow the player to carry all of them without being [[burdened]]; the player must wait for them to go bad to consume them, and must find more of them afterward. One way to prevent nutrition problems is to [[pray]] if [[weak]] or [[fainting]].

		+	Despite their load of starting intrinsics and special melee attacks, ghouls are hard to play. They start with some fresh corpses in their inventory which will eventually go bad (unless they're [[lichen]]), allowing them to be eaten, and if the player's role would start out with [[food ration]]s, they will get converted to corpses too (sometimes boosting starting [[strength]] or [[constitution]] to allow the player to carry all of them without being [[burdened]]), but they will only give so much nutrition, after which the player needs to find more corpses. Then the player needs to prevent [[pet]]s from eating the fresh corpses; one way of doing that would be picking them up, but some filling monsters like [[centaur]]s and [[dragons]] weigh a ton.
		+
		+	Another way to prevent nutrition problems is to [[pray]] if [[weak]] or [[fainting]]. However, the player's [[god]] may choose to [[smiting\|smite]] them instead, especially if the player's [[alignment]] is [[lawful]].
		+
		+	Ghouls can also be encountered as random monsters, and if tamed, may grow up to become [[haunter]]s or [[gengar]]s.
