Risen Ghoul

He lives to serve... sort of.

Risen Ghoul is a ghoul pet created from a corpse using the death knight's Raise Dead ability, which lasts for two minutes. They can be sacrificed using the Spell shadow deathpact [Death Pact] ability to return health to the death knight. Alternatively, if the death knight has the Spell shadow animatedead [Master of Ghouls] talent the ghoul will have unlimited duration and be controllable by the death knight, acting like a hunter or warlock pet. Achievement boss festergutrotface [Dark Transformation] will empower all the ghoul's abilities, as well as give a 100% damage buff for the duration.

Abilities

Abilities are only usable if the Ghoul is made a pet by the Spell shadow animatedead [Master of Ghouls] Unholy Specialization.
