Turning Defiance.

The iron ghoul and any ghouls within 30 feet of it have advantage on saving throws against effects that turn undead.

Actions

Multiattack.

The iron ghoul makes one bite attack and one claw attack, or three glaive attacks.

Bite.

Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (3d8 + 4) piercing damage.

If the target is humanoid, it must succeed on a separate DC 13 Constitution saving throw or contract darakhul fever.

Claws.
