About Flying Ghouls

Flying Ghouls can fly, unlike their Ghoul counterparts.

Ghouls devour the flesh of corpses and hunger for that of the living. Their claws can cause  paralysis, and they are immune to ⁠Poison.

They are immune to  Demonspirit Madness. This prevents them from being driven  Mad due to a failed Wisdom saving throw when the summoner wears  Abyss Beckoners. Their Claws attack has a fixed save DC of 10 to Paralyse the target.

Involvement

They can be created through the level five variant of the  Animate Dead spell,  Animate Dead: Flying Ghoul.
