Corpse-Mother

Most ghoul clans are ruled by a Corpse Mother, the oldest and most respected matriarch in their repulsive community. Corpse-Mothers have absolute power over the clan and it is they who guide and direct the raids and attacks against the living, though they rarely take part themselves. 
While most ghouls are wasted, emaciated creatures, the Corpse-Mothers ruling over them are bloated, corpulent creatures, gluttonously feeding on the choicest meats and organs after a kill while the rest of the clan starves. 
They are regarded with almost holy reverence by the clan, and any threat to a Corpse-Mother is met with savage, unbridled fury. It is these creatures that a necromancer must treat with if they are to bring ghouls to the battlefield, although it is normally a mere formality. Ghouls follow necromancers willingly, drawn to the stench of death and thrilled by the promise of slaughter.
