Great Ghuls are undead elemental cousins of the Jinn, belonging to an inferior race of them. Regularly haunting burial grounds, they feed on the corpses interred there. Usually female, they are shapeshifters and will appear to travellers (especially males) as beautiful seductresses. This is done in the hope of getting a fresh kill to eat. No matter what form they take, their feet are those of donkeys and will wear modified shoes or boots, and usually long clothing to mask this. They have long thick hair & eyebrows with the latter drooping over their eyes. Sometimes they have donkeys ears, and the hair is used to cover these. Their hands end in sharp claws, and their lower jaws jut out and are strongly muscled for eating flesh & breaking bones to suck the marrow out. Their pale white skin is cold and clammy and they are hunched over. Because of this they have a few innate spells that help to catch their prey.
Since both humans & other Jinn hate & fear them, they regularly hide in desolate graveyards, and near mountains with caves. Also, they regularly use their innate magic to hide themselves regularly.
Suggested Environments
Deserts, mountains, graveyards.
