Ghouls are a species of cannibalistic humanoids featured in several of Lovecraft's works.
They are first depicted in the short story Pickman's Model, where the eponymous main character meets with the beings regularly to paint them in various poses and activities. It is revealed in The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath that Pickman is in fact a partial or full-blooded ghoul, and now resides with them in the Dreamlands.
