Ghost king is a type of monster in ADOM. The bright yellow ghost king can the bane of any race with a short-to-medium lifespan, and a single damaging hit can cause the PC to age by anything from five years to almost a century. To Elves, Dwarves and Gnomes, this is usually just a minor annoyance... though receiving too many of these attacks can still possibly kill such PCs if they are very careless. Characters of other races may need to drink as many potions of longevity as possible to avoid being considerably weakened or facing a very premature old age death from these monsters' attacks.
