Feral ghoul (Fallout 76)

Feral ghouls are creatures found in Appalachia in 2102.

Background
Feral ghouls are almost similar to the ghouls of previous Fallout games. However, their clothes are more recognizable (work clothes, police uniforms, holiday wear, etc. rather than indeterminate rags) and their appearance is much less decomposed than their previous appearances.

Unlike the Scorched, which have retained greater cerebral functions and motor skills, feral ghouls are unable to use weapons due to the loss of mental (and motor) functions associated with going feral.

Biology
Feral ghouls were formerly pre-War American citizens who suffered mutations due to radiation, including brain decay, resulting in complete loss of reason due to diminished mental functions.

Their skin is slightly decomposed and their hair has almost disappeared.

They live in groups wandering in nature or human infrastructures in search of future prey, whether human or animal, to feed on their flesh. It is rare to see ghouls wandering alone and the presence of a single ghoul is a sign of the presence of other ghouls in the vicinity.

Sometimes a group of ghouls can be accompanied by a wendigo. The ghouls are friendly to the wendigos and show no sign of aggression towards them. Feral ghouls are also attracted by the wendigo's howls.

Gameplay attributes
Feral ghouls will attack most other creatures they encounter, with the exception of wendigos.

They will attack charging and striking their opponents. Their attacks are accompanied by radiation damage. Glowing ghouls inflict more radioactive damage (50 per hit without Rad-X) and diseased, rotting, withered, and gangrenous ghouls can inflict poison damage or transmit diseases to the player character.

Ghouls often prepare their attacks by advancing slowly towards their opponent before running very quickly (often faster than the player) and throwing themselves at their target in an exaggerated lunge.

Weak feral ghoul
These are the weakest variant of feral ghoul, hence the name, and are commonly found around other ferals.

Weak feral ghoul officer
A weaker variant of the feral ghoul officers, these carry a nuclear keycard. They usually can be found by themselves and rather easily, as the radio backpacks they carry have a bright red light on the back and emit a loud beeping sound.

Feral ghoul
A standard feral ghoul, they can be found in big numbers in towns and are always in groups. They can be called as reinforcements by wendigo screams.

Feral ghoul roamer
A slightly stronger variant of feral ghoul. These can be found in the wilderness and in towns. They are usually in a pack with other ferals.

Feral ghoul stalker
A stronger variant of the feral ghoul, usually encountered in a pack.

Feral ghoul reaver
A decently strong variant of the feral ghoul, having metal armor over their clothes. They are usually found among packs of weaker ferals.

Gangrenous feral ghoul
A powerful type of feral ghoul, they can poison the player character upon a successful hit and have a greenish skin tone. They are mostly found at higher levels.

Glowing one
A highly irradiated variant of the feral ghoul. They can be found as a boss at the end of ghoul-infested buildings and give off high amounts of radiation.

Charred feral ghoul
A very strong ghoul variant found commonly at the Whitespring, the Mire and the Cranberry Bog. They are usually in small groups but can have weaker ghouls alongside them. They appear to have a high drop rate for legendary items.

Bloated glowing one
The strongest variant of the feral ghoul. They are found as an end boss in ruins and also appear after a nuke lands in a ghoul infested area (i.e. Morgantown, the Whitespring, etc.). They give off a radiation aura and are usually in groups.

Strangler feral ghoul
A variant of the feral ghoul, called as reinforcements for the strangler heart.

Locations
Some feral ghouls occupy the camp areas of Flatwoods and the Red Rocket station.
 * Feral ghouls can be found inside of the Vault-Tec Agricultural Research Center to the west of Flatwoods.
 * Feral ghouls occupy the majority of Morgantown and connected buildings, such as Vault-Tec University and the Shadowbreeze Apartments.
 * Feral ghouls make up most of the enemies at The Whitespring golf club and surrounding areas.
 * Commonly found at Big B's Rest Stop.
 * Found in a group at Camp Venture, near the segment of the camp with the storage basement.
 * Often found at random encounter hotspots.

Notable feral ghouls

 * J47 is a named diseased feral ghoul summoned by interacting with the DMV number terminal at the Charleston Capitol Building and selecting "Boot up Department C." The loudspeaker will attract it and more feral ghouls into the DMV lobby upon activating.
 * Freddie Lang was the leader of the Blackwater Bandits raider gang. She can be found as a feral glowing one in Blackwater Mine.
 * Feral ghoul officers appear randomly throughout areas where feral ghouls reside. These are noteworthy however, due to the fact that they drop nuclear keycards containing Appalachian launch codes.
