Thouls are a bizarre humanoid species from the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game. Thouls are a crossbreed of magical origins, a mixture of traits of hobgoblins, trolls and ghouls. Despite their partially ghoulish origins, they are alive, not undead, and are capable of normal reproduction.

Thouls made their first appearance in print as a typographical error in an introductory mini-module included with an early D&D boxed set. They were intended to be a pair of ghouls. TSR received several inquires as to what exactly a 'Thoul' was, and made up the creature on the spot.
