ghast I-> Minecraft

Common undead monster in DND and other RPGs.
Minecraft ghast should probably have its own disambiguation tag, even if all the current posts are of that one. (With the exception of post #829986, though I'm not sure what makes that one a ghast.)

The same thing that makes ghastgirl a ghast, I guess.

Honestly, that's some kind of zombie thing. this guy doesn't even look dead. he'd be some weird humanoid of some sort. ditto the 2e type.

but *shrug* disambiguous isn't bad. :)

Fair.
The gist of the pen and paper ghasts has always been that they look like ghouls, but are much stronger. So ghouls by twys.

In general, tagging tabletop RPG monsters is problematic. The appearance is often left to the imagination, and in case of old games such as DND, the descriptions can be completely different in each edition.

That problem can be seen in tags such as kobold, which is a mix of the old-school canine kobolds and the newer lizard-like ones.
