I've always been a huge fan of the ghoul since it was one that is scary to low and mid-level PCs yet can be destroyed without magic items. I think the one in the A1 Bestiary is very good. It gets two attacks and the second attack will have advantage if the first hits and the character fails it's save. If you run into a pack of them you have a good chance of getting paralyzed.
In 3e, the ghoul got 3 attacks and they all paralyzed. But what 3e had that Next does not is the idea of a "full attack" AND saves scaled up. Most of the timein that first round of combat the ghouls will likely only get one attack because it's either the surprise round (No full attacks) or it had to move. It took some doing to get a full attack for a monster in 3e...this was the fun of a pack of ghouls. Rush a PC with a bunch, he might avoid getting paralyzed and bring one down but then the full attacks kick in and it gets more likely to take the PC out of the fight.
