Rakghoul Plague (Trait). Creatures that come in contact with the rakghoul may become afflicted with rakghoul plague, a virulent disease that transforms the creature into a rakghoul over the next 24 (7d6) hours. The plague is only effective against humanoids.

Savage Leap (Trait). If the rakghoul moves at least 20 feet toward a creature and then hits it with a claw attack on the same turn, the target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the rakghoul can make one bite attack against it as a bonus action.

Multiattack (Action). The rakghoul makes two claw attacks.

Bite (Action). Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit 12 (2d8+3) Kinetic damage. If the target is a humanoid creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or become infected with the Rakghoul Plague.

Claws (Action). Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6+3) Kinetic damage. If the target is a humanoid creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or become infected with the Rakghoul Plague.
