Rancorous Ghasts
 

Can't conclusively prove that its broken, but after murdering dozens of placeholders at the correct times I've yet to see a single Rancorous Ghast spawn in Lesser Faydark.

I can confirm I have not seen them. The are supposed to spawn in place of other undead at night.

Yep, this is a big one for wood-elf druids and clerics. Can someone put these classic dudes back in?
