Ghasts

Ghasts are even more dangerous than Ghouls, especially in close quarters like this cave.

(29 hp, 650 xp) - Slightly more powerful versions of ghouls, these undead creatures share the ability of ghouls to paralyze their opponents with a single touch. Even elves are vulnerable to their paralyzing touch. Ghasts are also able to emit a nauseating gas and are more difficult for a cleric to turn than ghouls.

Ghouls

This Ghoul is more dangerous than it looks, because of its paralyzing attack.
