A half-ghoul is a fictional character that possesses both human and ghoul traits. In various stories, particularly in the Tokyo Ghoul series, these beings are often born from a human parent and a ghoul parent. This unique heritage grants them abilities such as enhanced strength and regenerative powers, while still retaining some human characteristics. Half-ghouls face challenges in their identity, often struggling to fit into either the human or ghoul world. They may experience conflicts related to their dietary needs, as they require human flesh to survive, which creates moral dilemmas and societal tensions with both humans and ghouls.
