Greater Ghouls are a stronger variant of the common Ghoul.

Aside from all-around higher stats, Greater Ghouls are also permanently hasted which makes up for the slow speed that is one of the greatest weaknesses of their regular cousins – though it should be noted that even a hasted Ghoul only moves as fast as a regular human. Just like normal Ghouls, they attack with both claws and bite, which can immobilize the target on hit.

Locations

Tales of the Sword Coast

• In the original game's expansion Tales of the Sword Coast, as well as in the Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, they can only be encountered in the 3^rd and 4^th basement of Durlag's Tower. ^{(AR0513, AR0514)}

Bugs

• Unlike other ghouls, the greater variant is in all games except the Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition treated as males.
