Crypt Ghouls

Scuttling, repugnant creatures whose insanity pushes them over the brink of madness into the belief that they are glorious, stout soldiers of a magnificent empire, Crypt Ghouls seek out fresh, raw meat - usually by killing anything in their path. Dangerous even as individual enemies, they tend to hunt in packs, each mordant competing with the other for scraps of flesh torn from the unfortunate dying. Should they catch a glimpse of their king they will fight all the harder - after all, who would not wish to be noticed by a court so glorious?
