Ghoul

Ghouls are a "species" of Undead. Being Type 2 and Class 7, they are the most dangerous of the common variety undead. Ghouls have a level of sentience, with most of them having at least some memory of their past lives. Ghouls who have an alliegance to someone are intelligent enough to understand orders, and depending who they were in life, are incredibly loyal souls. However, ghouls with no such alliegance are very dangerous, and should neither be approached or worse provoked. Unlike the lesser forms of undead who simply try to scratch or bite when attacking, ghouls are capable combatants, with ones who were trained individuals in life being capable of every move they knew when living. All ghouls are capable of using weapons, armor, and unlike their lesser kin, defend themselves and their wards. They are also much more resilient than lesser undead. 
Within The Gallows Swamp, tens of thousands of ghouls make up the bulk of the undead legion known as The Damned, servants of Queen Calliope in life who remained loyal to her through death and beyond. Alessia Cloudsmith was crowned the new Queen of The Damned after The Battle of Haven.
The Lich has several thousand ghouls who serve him as part of The Black Covenant. They waged an endless war with The Damned until his surrender, and while allied with them now, are still ultimately loyal to the necromancer.
