Editing Ghoul (section)

=== Hunger ===
Ghouls can cycle between months- or years-long periods of convalescence (although they will still snack on humans if they encounter them) and brief bursts of mad, rabid hunger that must be sated or they will perish.<ref name=":0"/> Depending on where their personal balance is sitting, they eat either corpses or they scarf down bits of still-living victims they’ve found in isolated spots.<ref name=":2"/>

Most ghouls will have a hunting cycle of some sort, variants can change this pattern of course. If a ghoul is healthy enough they can be active at all times.
