GKI (Ghoul King Incarnate

A Ghoul King Incarnate is a rare type of ghoul. A ghoul whom is born once every 10,000 years with the ability to command and produce more of the ghoul species. This demonic being is typically born into the world when to offset balance from the abyssal dimension. Biologically Normal ghouls are identical to a member of any humanoid species, with a few exceptions. Firstly, they are exclusively able to consume humanoid flesh, coffee, and water; any other food tastes as foul as rotten trash and offers no nutritional value. Secondly, they bear a sac-like organ somewhere within their body that converts nutrients into RC cells, which in turn cause them to become almost immune to conventional weapons, and grants them their own natural weapon. Ghoul King Incarnates on the other hand have the immediate access to any kind of ghoul weapon/kagune and an immense amount of RC Cells. Distinguishable by vert few historical scholars via their 6 eyes of the abyss, Ghoul King Incarnates create other ghouls under their command.

Hunger

As a Ghoul King, your diet is comprised of three things, Humanoids, Coffee, and water. Ghoul Kings can eat human food however it doesn't sustain them as well and wont fuel their ghoulish abilities. Ghoul Kings require 1 Medium sized humanoid per 3d12 + your Constitution modifier days, otherwise, they will attack the nearest humanoid and attempt to kill and eat them on sight. Ghoul Kings may eat a hefty meal comprised of some sort of meat in order to add 1 day to the counter. Ghouls usually wear a mask when hunting in order to keep their identity a secret. When your Kagune is out or you're eating or hungry, Your sclera(White part of the eye) turns black and typically your iris turns blood red. As a Ghoul King however, your pupil turns purple rather than red. If you fail to meet your hunger requirements, you lose the ability to use your Kagune until you eat, and for every day you starve you gain a level of exhaustion.
