Know your Ghouls!

It took me a bit to understand the multi-faceted Crypt Horror/Crypt Infernal Courtier/Crypt Flayer/Crypt Haunter Courtier/Vargheist kit. I picked up one of these a while ago for Cursed City Nemesis. Little did I know about how versatile it is!


First, the most basic is the Crypt Horror. Notice it has no wings, no necklace, no back spikes, and a human-adjacent face.


In direct contrast is the Crypt Infernal Courtier. This guy has 4 wings, back spikes and a very fashionable necklace.


Toning it down a bit is the Crypt Flayer. Still with the humanoid face, but no major back spikes (besides a very stately spinal ridge), and one pair of wings. He has dropped the jewelry too, for a more streamlined look.


Kicking it back up a notch is the Crypt Haunter Courtier. This fellow sports no wings, but makes up for it with plenty of spikes and the first bat face of the spring season. A refreshing pre-Memorial day look.


Rounding out the bat faces is the Vargheist. Fully winged, but no spikes or necklaces.


I hope this helps you (and me) keep these things straight because they’re really hardly any different from each other.
