Ghoul

Zombies are similar to Wolves, but with lower Evasion. That is to say, most characters have a chance of taking them out in one hit from the start of the game. Their attacks are slightly more dangerous, but not enough so to make them a significant threat.

Ghasts first appear near the Marsh Cave and will quickly make your life miserable. Like most Undead, their attacks Paralyze, but just for good measure, they get three attacks. They aren't hard to kill if you can hit them, but often your Warrior will be Paralyzed before he gets a chance. They can chip away at your party's HP after locking them down, so it may be wise to use Dia2 or Fire2 to take them out quickly. The same strategy applies later when they start appearing in mixed groups of Undead.

Wights are essentially the next step up from Ghasts. While they do more damage per hit, they only attack once, making them arguably less dangerous than their brethren. Nonetheless, they often appear in large groups with other Paralyzing Undead, and it is not a bad idea to take them out with Dia or Fire Spells.

GHOULS are Undead with three Paralysis-inflicting attacks. They will cause significant damage to lightly-armored Warriors, and likely Paralyze even your FIGHTER. HARM is very effective. If you can spare it, FIRE will also help.

Ghouls are, mercifully, far less annoying in FFII than they were in FFI. They Paralyze with their one inaccurate attack. A moderately leveled Fire Spell can take out a whole group of Ghouls in one shot.

Ghouls are the most basic form of Cie'th, not very dangerous or difficult to kill. They move very slowly on the game map, making it very easy to gain a preemptive strike against them.
