I'm a bit worried about running into DnD ghouls at the moment, considering I was almost killed by centipedes last night .

I think I'm a few levels higher if centipedes almost killed you, but I have heard a story from one of my friends that they almost got killed by a giant horsefly

yup, this is on purpose. I don't like to follow the fluff of other companies when I'm designing miniatures. Developing a range and a game is the best opportunity to make up your own story. Fluff and miniatures is like a big closed circle, people develop miniatures to fit someone's fluff or make fluff to fit justify their own designs and it goes round and round. I like the idea that ghouls are devolved and misshapen humanoid creatures and feral of course but these ghouls haven't completely lost their human intelligence, outside of a civilization, there's no reason to act civilized, and survival is the only concern of every animal. At the fringes of every society, and in the dark festering slums, hovels, sewers, and dungeons you'll find some inhuman beasts lurking about, living off of the dead and human waste, and hanging about in the shadows passing themselves off as some wretched human.

Imagine this creature, shuffling down an alley at night, sniffing around following the scent of some rotten leftovers, when suddenly confronted by two thugs thinking they've caught some poor old man walking home alone through an unsafe neighborhood. Imagine their shock and horror when this creature rears up to his full height and allows the cowl hiding his face to fall backwards revealing a smiling skull filled with long fangs. Unsurprisingly, in a slum like this, in a city so crowded, no one opens the shudders to find out where all the screams are coming from.
