Lore

In Arabian folklore, ghouls (ghul) are demonic shapeshifters that haunt graveyards and desolate deserts, disguising themselves as humans or animals (often hyenas) to lure travelers to their doom. They feast on the dead and sometimes the living, embodying the terrors of isolation and the unknown wilderness.
