-From ''[[The_Dream_Quest_of_Unknown_Kadath_(fiction)|The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath]]'', we learn that Ghouls speak in a "meeping"/"glibbering" language of their own and remember little of the language they spoke in life, have no beards, have a rubbery/mouldy texture to their skin, lope "in a slumping way" and squat when resting, tend to prefer not to wear clothes, live in conflict with [[Ghast]]s, and might turn greenish in old age.  This story also contains many details about the Ghouls' habitat in the [[Dreamlands]] and the [[Wakeworld|waking world]], as well as something of the feeding habits of Ghouls and their disposal of bones in the [[Vale of Pnath]].

 Lovecraftian Ghouls are usually described as white or green-skinned humanoid hairless creatures with long canine muzzles, pointed ears, and clawed feet that have almost become hooves. They inhabit networks of underground tunnels and crypts, and eat the corpses of dead humans. Despite their favored food and reclusive habits, Ghouls are usually not hostile creatures, and in ''[[The_Dream_Quest of_Unknown_Kadath_(fiction)|The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath]]'' the protagonist gains the aid of a group of Ghouls and travels with them for a period of time. Ghouls communicate using a "meeping" or gibbering vocalization called Ghoul Speech or [[Pnathic]].
-Ghouls are found through the underworld of the [[Dreamlands]] as well, and it seems that they can navigate between the waking world and the Dreamlands through the use of special tunnels. The universal center of ghoul activity seems to be the bone-filled [[Vale of Pnath]] in the Dreamland underworld, were the world's ghouls dump cleaned bones. This dumping is done from the [[Crag of the Ghouls]], a cliff jutting off from the [[Mountains of Thok]] over the vale.

 Ghouls appear to be a separate species from humans, breeding and living as their own society, but it also seems that some humans can slowly become ghouls, though the exact means are unknown, and the Changeling aspect of some of Pickman's paintings suggests that human and ghoul infants are routinely exchanged, and it might be inferred that, similarly to other aspects of Changeling myths, humans and ghouls might be able to interbreed.
