Editing Ghast

'''Ghast''' is a label applied to various creatures in media, mostly undead. In [[D&D]] and [[Pathfinder]], ghasts are a more powerful version of [[ghoul]]s.


They share a name with the floating Ghost enemies from Minecraft that can be found in the Nether.
==Call of Cthulhu==
In [[Lovecraft]]'s [[Dreamlands]] setting, ghasts are vaguely humanoid creatures "about the size of a small horse" who live in the "vaults of Zin", in that world's equivalent of the [[Underdark]]. These bipedal pack hunters leap on long, hoofed hind legs like kangaroos. They have orange eyes, an excellent sense of smell, and a venomous bite. They are quite aggressive, regularly attacking both [[ghoul]]s and [[gug]]s. Cannibalism is also common. They die if exposed to bright light. 

Lovecraft implies that they have somewhere near human intelligence, but are just very primitive. They speak in a language that sounds like guttural coughing.

Their faces are "curiously human despite the absence of a nose, a forehead, and other important particulars."
