ghoul -- SPN corpse scavenger (Monster Lineage)

Playable Awakened Nature. **Supernatural TV ghouls** are intelligent graveyard scavengers -- they **become the dead** by feeding on corpses (appearance, voice, memory). **Not** the motel **shapeshifter** that steals a **living** face (help shapeshifter).

How you play
  1. feast <body>           fill Visage from fresh corpses; bank the dead's face
  2. assume                 Adept+ -- wear the stored corpse-face
  3. shed                   drop the mask when it thins
  4. gnaw / rend / rotwake     living pressure only when Visage runs dry
  5. form                   true feral face when the mask is gone
  6. carrion                status: Visage tank, stored face, and gates

Unlocks Carrion. Tank label: **Visage** (discipline name for corpse-face bank).
Hungrier than Wendigos for living prey only when corpse reserves run dry.
**Decapitation finishes** them -- not fire.

Top stats lean VIT / POW / FIN.

Empty Visage sheds any worn disguise automatically -- the true feral face bleeds back. Distinct from wilderness Gravewalk Ghoul bestiary mobs and from Leviathan living consume (help devouring).
