For example, if a ghoul were to be stabbed with a knife, the blade would break instead, suffering a small scratch that heals almost instantly. Their bodies are extremely resistant to injury. They are also capable of jumping to heights not achievable by a regular human. Ghouls have a high physical capability and are four to seven times stronger than the average human: they are able to send the average human flying if struck with enough force, and can penetrate a human's body with their bare hands. She describes this state of near-starvation as, "hell for any ghoul". They will feed on any available source of human meat to end this state, even that of close friends, as shown when Kaneki was willing to eat Hideyoshi Nagachika, his best friend, before being stopped by Touka Kirishima. When a ghoul enters an extreme state of hunger, they will suffer very painful headaches and their mental ability will be impaired, causing them to become driven by instinct alone. However, some ghouls eat merely for pleasure. They can survive for one or two months on just one body. Ghouls do not need to eat regularly like humans do. However, after the unification of ghouls and humans after the Dragon War, a synthetic food was developed by scientists including Kimi Nishino, though it was not revealed how much was needed to sustain a ghoul, only that even after modification it tasted disgusting. While ghouls cannot eat normal food, they are, however, able to drink coffee(and eat the beans), as well as regular drinking water. When forced or forcing themselves to digest such food, their physical condition will deteriorate. If ghouls attempt to eat normal food, they will be struck by a powerful urge to vomit. The structure of their tongues is also different from humans', making other foods taste disgusting and uncomfortable. They are unable to digest any other type of food due to a particular enzyme their bodies produce. In addition, it was predicted by Kishou Arima that at some stage every human would eventually become a ghoul, though this prediction has yet to be proven correct even after the final chapter.ĭuring the Dragon event, it is theorized that the Ghoul race came to be hundreds of years in the past after an unknown individual first underwent an explosive reproduction of RC cells and experienced a Dragon-like transformation, releasing spores that mutated a number of humans into ghouls through ROS.Ī ghoul can only feed on humans and other ghouls. However, some ghouls went rogue, refusing to adapt to this new lifestyle. As a result of this and the development of synthetic food, ghouls were allowed to co-exist with humans. By using airborne-transmitted diseases like those utilized by Furuta Washuu, the condition known as ROS (an overload of RC cells) can lead to artificial ghoulification.ĭue to their status as predators of humans, ghouls were prosecuted by the CCG before the end of the Dragon War, after which the United Front between humans and ghouls was formed. If certain rare conditions are met, ghouls and humans may even be able to have offspring ( see one-eyed ghoul and half-human), and through a successful kakuhou transplant surgery, an artificial hybrid can be created.

They are as close to humans as possible: they normally display the same attributes the same physical appearance and intelligence as a human with the main exception being their inner biology, mentality, and diet. Ghouls ( 喰種 ( グール ), gūru, translates approximately to eater species) are a carnivorous and cannibalistic humanoid species that are only able to feed on the flesh of humans and other ghouls.
