Shadow Ghouls are enemies in Drawn to Life. They first appear in a total of three levels in the game, the first of which being Gearworks.
Shadow Ghouls will patrol an area and fly after The Hero if they come too close. They are the strongest of the pure-Shadow enemies, taking four normal hits to destroy.
Appearance[]
Shadow Ghouls are slightly bigger than Shadow Walkers and are made entirely of Shadow. They have a roughly humanoid shape, however they have no legs, and thus move around by levitating and/or flying. They have long arms and a horned head.
They appear to have two eyes, but often only one can be seen.

Trivia[]
- This enemy is one of the few enemies to have concept art.
- It is also one of the few enemies to have an official name.
- Most sprites and the enemy's concept art depict them with only one eye, but a second eye can be seen during the "death" and "attacking" animations.
- Though officially named "Shadow Ghoul", a more accurate name for this enemy would be "Shadow Wraith": ghouls are classically considered to be living corpses or monsters akin to zombies, while wraiths are ghost-like entities, more akin to the legless, floating Shadow creature.
