Special Rules

Undead

• Immune to psychology, poison, and All Alone
• Causes Fear

Loping Predator

• Always charges 6" + D3" instead of the standard 8" charge
• Ignores movement penalties from rubble, corpses, and shallow water

Savage Mutation

• If the Feral Ghoul hits with all three attacks in one combat phase, it immediately makes one additional bite attack (Strength 3, single hit, cannot be parried)

Carrion Frenzy (Improved)

• If the Feral Ghoul ends its turn within 1" of a corpse or stunned model and is not in combat, it may feed:
• Next turn it gains +1 Strength and +1 Attack (instead of just Initiative)
• Bonus lasts until end of next round
• May only trigger once per game

Wall-Climber

• Unlike regular ghouls, Feral Ghouls can climb vertical surfaces and leap gaps up to 4"
• Treats all terrain as passable unless clearly impassable

Death Roar (once per battle)

• Instead of attacking, the Feral Ghoul may emit a deafening, feral scream
• All models within 6" must take a Leadership test or suffer -1 WS and -1 Initiative until the end of their next turn
• Undead and Possessed are unaffected

Encounter Hooks

• Found deep beneath Mordheim—crypts, cathedrals, or The Rock.
• May be awakened after a ritual gone wrong or when multiple ghouls are killed in a short time.
• Some believe necromancers use Feral Ghouls to punish betrayal—sending them after former allies.
• A wounded Feral Ghoul might retreat into sewers, leading warbands to a lair of greater horrors.
