Ghoul

Ghoul is a demon in the series.
==History==
A ghoul is a cannibalistic undead demon of ancient Arabian folklore. The word "ghoul" is Arabic for "demon" or "calamity," referring to creatures who were believed to dwell in graveyards and abandoned places. They are wild, vicious and repulsive in appearance, though sometimes are almost indistinguishable from normal humans. Ghouls generally steal corpses from graveyards and eat them, but they will also carve, attack and eat live human flesh. They sometimes assume the form of animals when attacking people, most often hyenas.
Ghouls are sometimes believed to be a type of Jinn, an Arabian elemental. It is said that invoking the name of Allah (God) will drive off a ghoul. This is because Allah created the jinn, and ghouls do not dare oppose the God that created them. Female ghouls are called "ghula" or "ghouleh" and use their alluring beauty to ensnare and eat human men.
