Elevated Ghoul
The elevated ghoul has 13 Hit Dice and inflicts extra damage with each claw attack. In addition, any human, humanoid, or demihuman creature it touches must make a successful saving throw vs. paralyzation with a -4 penalty or be paralyzed for 24 hours. Characters slain by an elevated ghoul become standard ghouls thirty minutes after death unless a cleric casts bless on their remains. (Note that elves are vulnerable to the paralysis effect, but do not become ghouls after death.) The elevated ghoul has 20% magic resistance and is immune to cold-based attacks, sleep, charm, hold, and other mind-affecting spells, as well as weapons below +2 enchantment. Its amulet of repudiation renders it immune to clerical turning; otherwise it would turn as "Special." A protection from evil spell keeps the creature at bay for 1 round.
Elevated ghoul: AC -1; MV 9; HD 13; hp 85; THACO 7; #AT 3 (claw/claw/bite); Dmg ld4+4/ld4+4/2d4+8; SA paralyzation; SD +2 or better weapon to hit, regenerate 1 point per round, spell immunities; SW protection from evil; MR 20%; SZ M (6’ tall); ML fearless (20); AL N; XP 4,000.
Special Abilities: slain victims become standard ghouls in thirty minutes unless blessed; SA-touch paralyzes humans, humanoids, and demihumans (including elves) for 24 hours (save vs. paralyzation with a -4 penalty to avoid); SD-immune to cold-based attacks, sleep, charm, hold, and other mind-affecting spells; +2 or better weapon to hit; SW-protection from evil keeps ghoul at bay for 1 round; turns as "special" without an amulet of repudiation.
