Attack Speed: 1.0

Combat Trait

1
Ghoul Frenzy
Cooldown: 30s

Basic attacks against enemy heroes generate 3 Frenzy. Ghoul gains +1% attack speed for every point of Frenzy he has.
Ghoul gains -0.75% attack speed for every Lethargy he has.

If Ghoul has Frenzy and would gain Lethargy, the Frenzy is removed first. If he has Lethargy and would gain Frenzy, the Lethargy is removed first.

Maximum Frenzy and Lethargy is 50. When Ghoul respawns after dying, he loses all Frenzy and gains 30 Lethargy.

Activate to consume all Frenzy, and Ghoul gains +2(+4% per level) basic attack damage for every stack of Frenzy consumed for 10 seconds.
If raised by Auriel, the Lethargy gain does not trigger.

Primary Abilities

1
Poisoned Claws
Cooldown: 6s
Cast Range: 1.5

Ghoul strikes target enemy hero, dealing 400(+4% per level) damage to the target over 12 seconds. If the target dies from or during this effect, Ghoul gains 15 Frenzy. Otherwise, he gains 12 Lethargy.
2
Rush
Cooldown: 8s
Cast Range: 6

Ghoul gains +50% movement speed for 2.5 seconds, and then charges target enemy unit. The target is slowed 7.5% for 3 seconds. If the target dies within 8 seconds, Ghoul gains 15 Frenzy. Otherwise, he gains 12 Lethargy.
3
Cannibalize
Cooldown: 40s

When minions and heroes die, they leave corpses. Corpses decompose, losing 3(+4% per level) health each second. A corpse a hero left has 300(+4% per level) health; a minion corpse has 60(+4% per level). When a corpse is reduced to 0 health, it disappears.

Ghoul feasts on target corpse, causing it to take 80(+4% per level) damage per second, and causing him to heal for that much each second. Killing minions reduces the remaining cooldown on this ability by 4 seconds.

Secondary Abilities

Area Size: 3.5 (circle)

Ghoul gains +75(+4% per level) basic attack damage for each enemy hero in the area, and +5.5% attack speed for every 8% of his maximum health missing. These benefits last for 8 seconds, and the duration is refreshed if Ghoul gets a takedown. When this effect ends, Ghoul loses all Frenzy and gains 20 Lethargy.
Heroes killed by Ghoul when he is under this effect do not drop corpses.
2
Reanimation
Cooldown: 120s

Ghoul heals 901(+4% per level) health over 3 seconds.

PASSIVE.
When Ghoul drops to 0 health, this ability activates, unless it is on cooldown. After 7.5 seconds, he returns to the location where he died with maximum health and 50 Lethargy.
Gathering a regeneration globe reduces the remaining cooldown of this ability by 5 seconds.
Enemy heroes get no indication whether Reanimation will occur. Allies get a visual indicator, as well as a chat message displaying: "Ghoul is Reincarnating!"
