Ghoul

Ghouls are a humanoid race and the descendants of a long-dead society that degraded to the point that its people ate their dead. They feed on the rotting flesh of bodies scavenged from gravesites and battlefields. Their appetite for dead bodies is the reason they are found just west of Canifis, at grave sites north of the swamp. Fairy Ring code CKS is very close to them.

Contrary to popular belief, they are not undead. They are in fact still alive and thus immune to the Crumble Undead spell and to the effects of the Salve amulet and Salve amulet (e).

Although the race as a whole is almost completely mindless, at least one non-violent ghoul known as Gus appears to have intelligence comparable to that of a human.

These monsters can be killed for 50 slayer experience each when on a Slayer assignment for ghouls. They do not hit well against players with high defences, although they will occasionally damage even players at quite high levels. Ghouls reduced to less than approx. 50 life points run away from the attacker. To keep them from escaping, players can trap them between the gravestones and the fence, especially just west of the cross headstone.

The graveyard is an excellent place to use a Dwarf Cannon. With the player avoiding being attacked by the ghouls, the cannon will shoot like in a multi-combat area. Due to the many ghouls and their fast respawn, this strategy can yield a lot of ranged experience and Slayer if killed for an assignment.

Ghouls, like many other monsters in RuneScape are an excellent source of gold charms, as 1 in 6 Ghouls drop a charm.

A ghoul bone, a special drop, is necessary to collect during the Rag and Bone Man quest.

They are also good for combat experience as they're known to give the same experience per hour as Yaks do.

Location
In Morytania west of Canifis, north and south of the bridge to the Paterdomus on the Salve River.

The ghouls in the graveyard just north of Mort Myre Swamp are well suited for training ranged and magic. The gravestones do not block ranged or magic and thus provide numerous Safe spots.

Champions' Challenge
Ghouls are one of the 'races' who have lesser champions in the Champions' Challenge activity. To fight the Ghoul Champion, the player must kill ghouls until one drops a Champion scroll, which is a very rare drop.
