Character · from book 3
Jikininki
The Tangle's janitor ghouls: seven-foot, chattering, in conductor's suits, who leave you alone if you don't bleed, litter or trespass. They board at station 12, swarm the wrecks at the bottom of the abyss, and are generated at 12 by a soul crystal — the word 'ghoul' on this floor covers them, the Festering, Blister and Wrath kinds, and worse.
Race and class, since book 3: Jikininki

The last mercenaries for hire in Hungry Eyes, undead — 'It’s a little late for that' (B8 ch. 26). Caged and swung out on beams from the truck, they hurl Biscuit Packs at the Sugar Hermits (B8 ch. 30, B8 ch. 31), and the hermits take both of them (B8 ch. 32).
Through book 3
Two in a Janitor's Lair at the top of the floor (B3 ch. 1); two more shuffling past with brooms, ignored (B3 ch. 5); thousands over the wrecks at the bottom of the abyss (B3 ch. 15); a generator at station 12 that blows late in the floor (B3 ch. 31, B3 ch. 32). The other ghouls of the floor are under the vitamin shots.
