Ghouls lurk in the ruins from Old Age all across the Zone . Ghouls (a.k.a Zone Ghouls) are descendants of the Ancients who survived the nuclear wars but they did not get to the relative safety of the Enclave provide in time.
Against all odds, they somehow have survived the Rot and the often lack of food situations. But they don’t grow old – most Zone-Ghouls are teenagers. These creatures cover their faces with terrifying masks scavenged from the Ancients ruin and dress in plastic cloak to protect them against sunlight and acid rains. Their hands and feet are wrapped in plastic or cloth . Underneath their wrappings and clothing they are pale and skinny, often deformed. Over the decades the Zone-Ghouls have lost all memories of human civilization, and they view the Humans and Mutant as a grave threat.[1]

Game Description[]
“There are many dangers out in the Zone, but trust me, the Zone-Ghouls are the worst. They are wretched creatures of the Rot, spawned by the Zone itself. They are skinny and short like children, but don’t be fooled – they hunger for mutant flesh and don’t have an ounce of humanity left in them! Thankfully, there are ways to avoid them. First of all, only move through the Zone during daytime. The Zone-Ghouls can’t stand the sunlight, not even through the smog – that’s why they all dress in hoods and wrap up their heads and hands with cloth. Some say the Zone-Ghouls aren’t even living beings at all, that they are evil spirits from the Old Age. But I know better. I know they can bleed, I know they can die. My advice – bring a scrap rifle and never let them get close. If you see one Zone-Ghoul, you can be sure there are at least two more nearby."
