Elves are not immune to a true ghoul's paralysis. Grave-Rot (Su): The fangs, claws, and weapons of true ghouls are contaminated with the filth of the grave and may spread disease. At the end of combat, anyone who took damage from the true ghoul's claw, bite, or melee weapon attack must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 15) or contract grave-rot: Onset time 1 day, damage 1d6 hit points of damage each day until cured or the victim makes a successful Fortitude Save. Victims are allowed a new saving throw each day. Victims reduced to 0 hit points by grave-rot are transformed into true ghouls. Strength Damage (Su): A true ghoul with 6 or more HD also deals 1 point of temporary Strength damage to a living foe. A creature reduced to Strength 0 by a true ghoul dies. Create Spawn (Su): In most cases, true ghouls devour those they kill. From time to time, however, the bodies of their humanoid victims lie where they fell. Slain victims who fail a Fortitude Saving Throw (DC 15) become normal ghouls, while those who succeed arise as true ghouls. If a true ghoul cleric is present, the victim receives a +4 bonus to the saving throw. Casting protection from evil on a body before the end of that time averts the transformation. Special Qualities: A true ghoul has all the special qualities of the base creature, plus darkvision with a range of 60 feet. They are resistant to physical blows and have the qualities of being undead. More powerful true ghouls also gain the ability to animate dead and summon shadows. Resistant to Blows (Ex): Physical attacks deal only half damage to true ghouls. Apply this effect before damage reduction. Undead: Immune to mind-influencing effects, poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, and disease. Not subject to critical hits, subdual damage, ability damage, energy drain, or death from massive damage. Turn Resistance: True ghouls of up to 6 HD possess +2 turn resistance. True ghouls of 6-9 HD possess +3 turn resistance. True ghouls with 10 or more HD possess +4 turn resistance. Animate Dead (Su): A true ghoul with 8 or more HD can animate dead once per week. The total HD of skeletons or zombies created by a single use of this ability cannot exceed the true ghoul's HD. There is no limit to the amount of undead that the true ghoul can control through use of this ability. Summon Shadows (Su): A true ghoul with 10 or more HD can summon 1d3 shadows once per day. The shadows arrive in 1 round and serve for 10 rounds or until released.</blockquote>
