A Lovecraft Ghoul in Dungeons & Dragons is a creature heavily inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, specifically his themes of cosmic horror and unsettling, otherworldly beings. These ghouls differ from the more traditional undead creatures commonly found in D&D, such as zombies or skeletons, in that they are linked to the realm of the unknown and are often depicted as disturbing and unnatural entities.

Lovecraft ghouls in D&D are typically portrayed as gaunt, almost skeletal creatures with sharp teeth, long claws, and an insatiable hunger for flesh. Unlike regular ghouls, which are often driven by a mindless desire to feed on the living, these versions are more intelligent, cunning, and aware of their surroundings. They may even serve as agents of darker powers, like elder gods or ancient, forbidden entities whose true nature defies human comprehension. Their abilities and motivations often extend beyond simple survival; they might be driven by the influence of these cosmic beings, serving as cultists, spies, or pawns of greater forces.

A key feature of the Lovecraft ghoul is its connection to madness and fear. Encounters with these creatures tend to evoke not only physical danger but also psychological horror. Their presence can induce a creeping sense of dread, even before they attack. Their twisted appearance and unnerving behavior can be enough to unnerve even the most seasoned adventurers. Their powers may include a form of psychic influence or mind-bending abilities that reflect the corruptive, nihilistic nature of the Lovecraftian mythos.

Lovecraft ghouls might not only lurk in tombs or dark corners of the world; they can be found in places where the veil between realities is thin, such as in cursed ruins, forgotten cities, or locations tied to the dark forces of the multiverse. Encounters with them are often layered with existential dread, suggesting that the true horror is not just the ghoul itself, but the realization of how small and insignificant humanity is in the vast cosmos.
