History
Overview
Those that contracted the Darkspawn taint were transformed into creatures called Ghouls. The creature developed a sickly complexion as they fell under the influence of the Darkspawn with the infected seeking them out. Humanoids and even animals were capable of being transformed into Ghouls if they were not killed by the taint. As a species, the Darkspawn were incapable of reproducing and thus asexual. Instead, the birth of new members of their kind fell to captured infected female prisoners that succumbed to the taint where they transformed into a kind of Ghoul whereupon they ate the flesh of their fellow captives. This led to the females transformation into creatures known as Broodmothers with those that survived the process becoming massively swollen creatures that existed only to birth more Darkspawn.
During their raids, it was known that they often took captives that were dragged alive into the Deep Roads with evidence suggesting that these were eaten. As such, they were compared to spiders in that they preferred their food to be still alive when they consumed them.
