== History ==
=== A Real Nightmare ===
Ghoul is a unique type of lifeform in that it comes not from the Waking World, but the Dreamlands. Sometimes, the Dream Dimension can spew out nightmarish creatures into our reality, Ghoul being one of them. Ghoul was spawned into the real world at an unknown point in time by the Elder God named Hypnos. Most of Ghoul's existence has been spent infiltrating the dreams of mortals, causing nightmares around the world.
On September 4th, 2017, Ghoul had entered the Waking World to join the Super Battle Bros. Tournament, as it was quite curious about it. It fought the likes of the Mad Artist & the Camping Tubian Sniper. The Almighty Tallest was pleased with Ghoul's performance & added it to the roster.
On November 29th, Ghoul was spotted again, this time at MVCC. It was partaking in Super Battle Bros. again, but this time, its opponent was the Demon Hunter Han Velsing. Their battle was short, & Ghoul had gained the upper hand until Velsing showed it a crucifix. Out of options, Ghoul flew out of the ceiling & forfeited the match. On December 26th, when having a conference with Dank Phantom, Labraham Incoln was describing who Han Velsing is, & showed stock footage of him fighting Ghoul.
Ghoul would not appear again until June 24th, 2018. Dan was at a graduation party for one of his cousins next door during this as another tournament had commenced in his pool. During the event, Ghoul had become allies with Mike Gamey Gee. Since they both knew the Fusion Dance technique, it was only natural for them to find out how a fusion between them would work. Together they became Shadow Mike Gamey Gee & fought the likes of Shield Man, Claw-Machine Man, N00b-Ninja-Thing, Yeshman, the Clean Freak, & Mijit.
On July 7th, Ghoul would try something new. Jack Jarren is capable of fusing with other beings via the Fusion Dance, & Ghoul can possess living beings, so they & Pumpkin Face were curious if a triple fusion was possible. So, they did the sacred dance as Ghoul possessed them both, creating the mega-powerful monster known as Hallows Ghoul. While there was no one strong enough to oppose this triple fusion at the time, this combination technique would become useful later on.
=== Helping with Operation: INFINITY ===
Ghoul was briefly seen on July 12th, 2018, when it was chilling at Dan's house. It overheard a conversation between Lord Claudius Ko'Al & Tigriton about the whereabouts of the Time Stone. Claudius had constructed an acronym of Dan's name to determine the Infinity Stones' location, & E was the missing letter. Ghoul decided to give them a hint by asking them what Dan's favorite color is, to which Tigriton responded with green. Claudius then knew that the E would stand for emerald. Ghoul had done its part.
=== Wars in the Water ===
Ghoul would partake in yet another Super Battle Bros. Tournament on August 5th, teaming up with Mike Gamey Gee to combat Vacation Man. This time, the tournament was held at the pool of the Fall Residence. Determining Vacation Man to be too strong, Mike needed to fuse with Ghoul to become Shadow Mike Gamey Gee once more. They fired a beam of shadows at Vacation Man, who deflected it & redirected it towards Ah'n'gha'drn, who became furious & poisoned Shadow Mike, sending them to the depths. Shadow Mike would regain consciousness, but remained inactive for the rest of the tournament. However, they decided to raise the stakes by using their dark powers to turn the water black. Once Vacation Man was finally destroyed (thanks to Eggward & Ring God), Mike & Ghoul had unfused & left the stage.
MORE TO BE ADDED SOON(ISH)
Ghoul currently resides in the Dream Dimension, continuing to invade the dreams of others.
== Personality ==
Ghoul is a difficult being to read. It seemingly shows up at the most random of occasions, yet somehow ends up being surprisingly helpful, like in some of his tournaments & during Claudius & Tigriton's Infinity Stones investigation. Ghoul also likes to scare people, whether it's in their dreams or in real life. When they fuse, Ghoul likes to talk to Mike telepathically about miscellaneous things. This shows Ghoul's more strategic side, preventing either of them from losing a match.
== Powers & Abilities ==
=== Physical Abilities ===
Ghoulish Strength: Ghoul is considerably strong, able to overpower Sandcastle Man, contend with Vacation Man, & briefly fight Han Velsing, but it's strength is indeterminable due to its nightmarish nature. It would seem that Ghoul's power level fluctuates depending on how well-fed it is, as it was somehow able to give Jack & Pumpkin Face a big enough power boost to take down the Nasty Patty by fusing with them both.
Ghoulish Speed: Ghoul can move at great speeds, usually to evade attacks or to access quick transportation. Its maximum speed is likely massively hypersonic, as it speedblitzed Sandcastle Man & is viewed as comparable to Jack.
Invulnerability: Ghoul is quite resilient, as its body is composed of ectoplasm instead of solid matter. It has shrugged off Sandcastle Man's sandstorms, withstood Han's incredibly loud sound waves, & while possessed it can adapt to & enhance the durability of whoever it's taken hold of.
Ectoplasmic Physiology: Ghoul is comprised of ectoplasm, a state of matter exclusively found in the spiritual planes. Because of thus, Ghoul can phase through objects with ease. This is how it was able to fly out of MVCC without leaving a hole in the ceiling, as well as evading Sandcastle Man's Quartz Crystal Formation. Ghoul can also make itself invisible, as any Ghost should.
Immortality: It is unclear as to how Ghoul exists, as it originated from the Dreamlands & can manifest into the real world. It is likely that Ghoul can live eternally & cannot truly die unless it is completely forgotten.
Flight: Ghoul can fly in the air, usually positioning its arms forward in a Superman pose. Its top flight speed is unknown, but is infinite in the dream world.
Night Vision: Ghoul can see in pitch black darkness, as it is a creature of shadow.
Vampirism: Ghoul has a pair of fangs that it uses to drink the blood of the living. It does this so that it can maintain its physical form in the real world. It is unknown as to how much blood it needs to enter the Waking World.
=== Special Powers ===
Umbrakinesis: Ghoul can manipulate the element of shadow, able to control the powers of darkness & craft its own techniques.
* Dark Empowerment: Ghoul draws its power from darkness, so it is stronger in the dark than it is in the light.
* Shadow Beam: Ghoul's main special attack is firing a concentrated beam of darkness from its hands. It has a purple glow when being charged, generating a shield around Ghoul so that it can charge undisturbed. Ghoul can also use this power as Shadow Mike, concentrating it through the eyes instead of the hands.
* Color Manipulation: Particularly shown when fused with Mike, Ghoul can sap something of its color, specifically to darken it. He showed this when turning a pool's water black.
Fear/Perception Manipulation: A living nightmare, Ghoul can determine what (or who) exactly someone is afraid of & can cloud their senses with image of said fear. This is not a power it's used on-screen, but it did use it against the Mad Artist once.
Possession: Ghoul can possess living beings, & has been shown to do so when Jack & Pumpkin Face combine to become Hallows Ghoul. When it does this, it engulfs the to-be-possessed in a dark fog of shadows.
* Fusion Dance: When it wants to combine with another being without being too in control of them, Ghoul can fuse with others instead of possessing them, multiplying their power levels together. It does this through the Fusion Dance, & whoever it fuses with can hear Ghoul's voice speaking in their head.
== Weaknesses ==
Ghoul seems to be weak to that which is holy. As Han Velsing has proven, showing it a crucifix will stop it dead in its tracks. Also, it shares the weaknesses of anyone he possesses, even if the fusion between them makes them more powerful.
To maintain its physical form, Ghoul must consume an unspecified amount of blood from a living creature. It is unknown as for how long it can go without having to feed itself. It is also reliant on people remembering it, otherwise it will fade out of existence.
== Trivia ==
* The way Vacation Man says Ghoul's name in Splashfest was meant to be a subtle reference to a moment from JonTron's The Weird World of PSAs (skip to 6:22).
