GHOULS
"Ha! Behold the ultimate killing machine! Kill him! Devour him now!"

Ghouls are a predator in the food chain. Underneath them are huans, which are their regualr prey. With a diet of humans, their taste buds have a different surface. They cannot digest regular human food easily. To them it tastes disgusting.

ABILITIES
Ghouls have various abilities depending on their genes. One of these abilities is called a Kagune. This is their main hunting weapon and is a vital organ for any ghoul. This is a claw like weapon that protrudes from diferent areas of the ghoul's body, depending on which type it is. There are four main types of Kagune and they all help the ghoul in various ways. Most ghouls are born with one kagune, or a special type called a Chimera. This type is only to a certain breed of ghoul. In some rare cases, powerful ghouls are born with all four kagune. The most known ghoul with this ability is the leader of Anteiku, Yoshimura or commonly referred to as the Non - Killing Owl. He has a soft spost fr humans, but unleashed his full power while fighting a large group of CCG.

Sometimes, if a ghoul is a cannibal or Gourmet, it's kagune will grow into a Kakuja. This is known as a full - power kagune and has many different stages.

KAKUGAN
All types of ghouls have some form of Kakugan. This is an eye colour transformation which signifies if a ghoul is ready to attack, using it's Kagune or hungry. Inn most cases, it is when a ghoul is hungry as shown in Tokyo Ghoul Episode 1.



Most ghouls have two kakugans, as they were born that way. Some ghouls may only have one because they are either Half - Ghouls (Artificial Ghouls), or Half - Humans. Most half - humans belong to the Quinx Squad, but there are many Half - Ghouls running around. This will usually be a rresult of an operation including a kagune transplant. This happened to Kaneki and Shaun's mother.

A kakugan will have a bright crimson iris and a black pinpoint pupil. The sclera is onyx with ddark ruby veins running across it down to the face.
