Ghoul

Também chamado de: ghūl, غول, ghulah, si'lat
Folclore e mitoOutroVariaDemônios ou espíritos malignos

The ghoul is a desert demon of Arabian folklore that became, in European hands, an eater of corpses. It is not itself undead, but its association with graveyards and human flesh made 'ghoul' the natural English word for anything that feeds on the dead. English writers from Beckford to Lovecraft developed it into a grave-robbing creature that lives on dead human flesh. It is included here as a neighbour of the zombie rather than a member of the family.1
