Has anyone seen these as normal (but relatively rare) spawns in the GY in recent years?
My memory is that if I spent too long hunting ghoul masters one of them would pop up and it would be time for a hasty retreat back to the crypt, but thats from pre AG days and maybe even GS3 days. I've taken down several hundred of them today without any but the standard one showing up, and I'm wondering if the rare types were removed and replaced by AG dangerous critter tasks.

This is happening right now:
An elder ghoul master just arrived.
An animated ancient ghoul master swings a blackened battle axe at an elder ghoul master!
With extreme effort, the elder ghoul master beats back the attack with its claidhmore!
>desc master
The elder ghoul master is a mass of blackened muscle in humanoid form. Striding boldly upright and with a determined gaze, the elder ghoul master marches through the world of the dead, seeking the bodies of the recently deceased. Though, in fact, dead itself, its putrid breath reveals its consumption of a steady diet of decayed flesh. If none can be found, the elder ghoul master is more than happy to cause the living to become the recently deceased.

... and hits for 38 points of damage!
Wild slash scratches the back of the elder ghoul master's hand.

You see a fairly typical elder ghoul master.
It has some minor cuts and bruises on its left hand.
It has some blackened brigandine (worn) and a blackened claidhmore.

With no room to spare, the elder ghoul master manages to parry the blow with its blackened claidhmore!
>look other master
You see a fairly typical ancient ghoul master.
It has moderate bleeding from its neck, a fractured and bleeding right leg, some minor cuts and bruises on its left leg, a fractured and bleeding right hand, some minor cuts and bruises on its chest and some minor cuts and bruises on its abdomen.
It has some blackened platemail (worn) and a blackened battle axe.

The master appears to be an animated corpse.

And an interesting bug:
(right after animating it)
An animated ancient ghoul master gestures at you!
The ancient ghoul master's armor prevents the spell from working.
>tell animate to magic
You order your ancient ghoul master to cast defensive magic on you.

For some reason you cannot get your ancient ghoul master to cast spells.
