Algul

Alguls are guls whose physical deterioration has been halted by a wizard's ritual. The number of wizards who have successfully converted a gul to an algul are few - the ritual is complex, and it is rumored that the ingredients required in the ritual are both unsavory and difficult to acquire. Sages believe that the ritual is the first step for a cure for undeath.

Whatever reasoning behind the ritual, alguls are fearsomely powerful and intelligent. Though their bodies no longer decay, their eternal hunger for kith flesh remains.
