Abattoir Ghoul

In the lands of Innistrad, no creature is safe from the terror of the undead, who rise each night from their grave in swarms. Among the myriad ways that a creature in Innistrad has to become a zombie, one of the most foul is by the consumption of tainted meat. Creatures which consume the flesh of the undead are likely to eventually succumb to its poison, transforming themselves into unliving horrors. Worse yet, this consumption can be caused second-hand, and animals which accidentally feast on the walking dead can become a vector for the plague when eaten by others.   Meat to the Butcher The risk of consuming a tainted animal is not small on the plane of Innistrad, where the zombified swarms of an undealt with ghoulcaller could spell doom for an entire village. For this reason, Innistrad’s butchers must watch carefully for the signs of tainted meat in the animals they purchase for their supply. Falling to the plague of undead in this second-hand method might still leave the victim with some small spark of their mind, and dim memories of their former lives. In a string of missing persons, if the village butcher was the first to go, the cause is almost always obvious. And a rotten village butcher is a sure sign the infection has already spread.
