Cool.

Mine -- Hugo Pickman -- doesn't put on airs. On the contrary, he's rather embarrassed about being a ghoul.

Some sample dialogue:

<i>Hugo: *laughs nervously* "Eat? Dead bodies? Bleh! That's crazy talk! What kind of freak would..." He makes a shrugging gesture, and realizes after the fact that he's holding a hand in one claw. He meeps, and quickly tosses it into the darkness.

Meph: (reading the tombstone) "Ew ... last year's corpse."
Hugo: "Oh, I've had worse... I mean, I bet there's worse... bodies, I mean... for people who eat them... WHICH IS GROSS!"

Meph: "Does it really bother you so much, eating corpses? You can't eat anything else?"
Hugo: "Nope. That's it. Just corpses."
Greg: "And they gotta be, ah, human corpses?"
Hugo: "Yup."
Leah: "You've tried a vegetarian alternative?"
Hugo: "Nope. Sorry. No Veggie Corpses, no Boca Corpses, no Black Bean Corpses."
Hugo: "On the bright side -- low-carb!"</i>
