Ghouls might be undead, but are nothing like slow shambling zombies; the Ghouls are fast and uncanny, running hunched over in a bestial, almost quadrupedal style.

Ghouls generally fight with a cruel jagged sword that looks like fangs.

Ghouls are a new monster type for Diablo III. These swarming monsters appear to be the Zombie cannon fodder of Diablo III. They are blue-skinned undead who spawn in great numbers, are quite but fleet of foot and quick of movement, but are fairly weak and easy too kill. Ghouls can be seem climbing up the walls and swarming the Barbarian in the beginning of the WWI 2008 gameplay movie. They die almost as fast as they race to battle (which is quite quickly).

Ghouls might be undead, but are nothing like slow shambling zombies; the Ghouls are fast and uncanny, running hunched over in a bestial, almost quadrupedal style. They climb quickly and leap out at the player from all angles, scaling a huge wall to get into the action in the WWI 2008 gameplay movie. Ghouls generally fight with a cruel jagged sword that looks like fangs.

The primary advice to stay alive against Ghouls seems to just be avoid being swarmed from all directions, and use skills like the Barbarian Berserker skill Leap Attack or the Wizard spell Arcane Teleport (preferably with a Striking Rune).
