Ghoul Fever (Su): Disease - bite, Fortitude DC 12, incubation period 1 day, damage 1d3 Con and 1d3 Dex. The save DC is Charisma-based.

An afflicted humanoid who dies of the fleshvigor ghoul's ghoul fever rises as a fleshvigor ghoul at the next midnight. A humanoid who becomes a fleshvigor ghoul in this way retains none of the abilities it possessed in life. It is not under the control of any other ghouls, but it hungers for the flesh of the living and behaves like a normal fleshvigor ghoul in all respects. A humanoid of 4 Hit Dice or more rises as a fleshvigor ghast, not a fleshvigor ghoul.

Paralysis (Ex): Those hit by a fleshvigor ghoul's bite or claw attack must succeed on a DC 12 Fortitude save or be paralyzed for 1d4+1 rounds. Elves have immunity to this paralysis. The save DC is Charisma-based.
