Author’s Foreword To the Readers, This book is about the ghosts that Professor Peter Williams will be teaching the students in his Curriculum for Ghoul Studies at St Ivana Academy for Witches and Wizards, I advise you if your son or daughter is attending St Ivana to get all the books that are either written by the professors themselves, or by a close friend of a professor. |
What is a Ghoul? What is a Ghoul? A ghoul is an ugly creature that resembles a slimy, buck-toothed ogre. They tend to live in the attics or barns of wizards and witches. Ghouls are relatively harmless creatures and are just seen as a nuisance because of the noise they make. They are relatively dim-witted, and live off of bugs and other household pests. At the most, they will groan and throw objects. A Ghoul Task Force (GTF) exists are the Ministry of Magic, under the Department for Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. The GTF is used to remove unwanted ghouls from houses and those which have passed in to Muggle ownership. They are rated XX on the Ministry of Magic Classification. |

Chameleon Ghoul Chameleon Ghoul A Chameleon Ghoul is a type of ghoul that can disguise itself as something else to avoid detection. It can be an everyday object like a vase, a suit of armour, a ugly stone statue, or even your favourite leather coat hanging at the back of your wardrobe. The Chameleon Ghoul tends to live in the homes of witches and wizards, or in a place that is saturated with magic, like a magic school or ancient magical ruins. They eat practically anything under the sun, ranging from smelly old socks to moths and spiders. They are relatively harmless creatures and are often seen as nuisances because of the disguises they choose. After all, who would want to wear a leather coat or drink from a glass only to find that the object was actually a disguised Chameleon Ghoul? Although it is possible that some might find this amusing, the majority of wizards consider them to be a pest. Luckily, Chameleon Ghouls are relatively dimwitted, and can easily be scared off if you are able to find it.
If one needs to deal with a Chameleon Ghoul, simply call the Ghoul Task Force that is part of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures under the Ministry of Magic. The Ghoul Task Force investigates undesirable circumstances where ghouls move in to residential areas and become a problem for the inhabitants. The Task Force also removes ghouls from formerly wizard-owned homes that have now passed into Muggle hands. The duty of the Task Force is to try and relocate the ghoul peacefully to a new wizarding home, with as less fuss as possible. Often it is easy to find a wizarding family that offers to host the ghoul, as ghouls are very desirable pets but only if they are of a harmless variety to the witches and wizards. However, Chameleon Ghouls are unfortunately often too difficult to find to relocate; hence they tend to act nuisances in their current dwellings.
It is unlikely that you will recognise a Chameleon Ghoul when you see it, as they often choose to pose as their disguised self instead of remaining in their ghoul form for very long. It is speculated that the Chameleon Ghoul is actually uglier than normal ghouls, thus explaining its tendency of disguising itself as anything rather than its true form. The only method to confront a Chameleon Ghoul is to lure it with a mixture of honey and fresh dew, which seems to be its favourite food and trap it. Unfortunately, the Chameleon Ghoul somehow has a sixth sense and will not reveal its true form if there is anyone or any magical devices nearby. They are rated as XX on the Ministry of Magic’s Classification chart.
