Risen Ghoul

From WoWWiki

Risen Ghoul is a ghoul pet created from a corpse using the death knight's Raise Dead ability, which lasts for two minutes. If Raise Dead is cast on a friendly player corpse, that player will be presented with the option to control the ghoul for the duration of the spell. They can be sacrificed using the Death Pact ability to return health to the death knight. Alternatively, if the death knight has the Master of Ghouls talent the ghoul will have unlimited duration and be controllable by the death knight, acting like a hunter or warlock pet.

Trivia

Performing a /cower emote will cause him to roar at you, while performing a /glare emote will cause him to cower.

Bugs

• There has been an occasionally reported bug with ghoul pets where they freeze or disappear. Although not a great solution, apparently a work around is to get the ghoul killed in-game.^[4][5]
• Using the /glare emote on the ghoul will cause it to stay in the cower position. It will need to be removed and respawned to remove this effect.
