Graveyard feeders that swarm and devour the fallen
Ghouls haunt the graveyards and deserts of Middle Eastern folklore as flesh-eating spirits drawn to death and decay. Often described as twisted humanoid creatures lurking among tombs and ruins, they were believed to feed upon corpses and prey upon lost travelers beneath the night sky. Some legends claimed Ghouls could disguise themselves as humans to lure victims into isolated places before revealing their monstrous forms. Across centuries of stories, they became symbols of hunger, corruption, and the terror hidden among the dead.
