Editing Caliban (Ravenloft) (section)

===Cannibal===
The Living Ghouls, as they are also known, are the most wretched and misshapen of the caliban races; common deformities include a hunched walk in the manner of a rat or a slithering snake, hairless rubbery skin, constant drooling, crooked but sharp teeth and a constantly wriggling tongue. They also tend to smell pretty bad. Worse yet, Cannibals suffer from a racial affliction, imbuing them with unnatural appetites; as their moniker suggests, many feel a strong compulsion to devour the flesh of humanoids, and they have been known to raid graveyards, gibbets and other places in order to sate this impulse without technically hurting anybody. Even those free of this impulse may still crave raw meat, blood, fresh viscera, rotten food, or other disgusting fare.

Second-most common of the caliban breeds, whereas brutes are imbued with strength and toughness, cannibals are imbued with speed and agility. They often become sewer-jacks or chimney-sweeps, or seek out the protection of the underworld as a [[thief]] or [[assassin]].

That said, some cannibals do succumb to their dark appetites and become serial killers, murdering  others for their flesh - a temptation they often succumb to as a result of pronounced bullying and abuse. Whole gangs of these living ghouls have been known to band together in the wilderness or in the most lawless city slums, preying upon the humans that cast them out.
