If there's not some weird bug, this effect makes you cough and choke after combat like Coughing Fit.

After one fight I got

You choke and cough up some blood, taking another 4 damage internally.

I had this effect and also Rasping Teeth active.

The next fight was vs. Midgard Security, over the course of which I also got 5 energy of Coughing Fit thanks to my inability to use an air filter with the HKGames helmet on. I lost and got all of this:

You choke and cough up some blood, taking another 9 damage internally. You slump to the ground, coughing up blood, tissue, and teeth. You'll need to rest before you can fulfill this gnawing hunger.

You've gained 9 energy of Ruptured Organs.
You learned a new Technique: Ghoul Bite (2)

I also had the Haunting Cries skill, which didn't trigger and give me Share the Pain. So I don't know what all was going on, but the bit about hunger and the Ghoul Bite seems to fit with the Square Maw.

EDIT: If this isn't a bug, it might be interesting to eat something with Ghoultouched with the effect active.

EDIT THE SECOND: Kinak sez Haunting Cries didn't fire because I won the fight, then died due to coughing. So I wasn't actually beaten up.

Now that Degenerate Mists has been found in the Charnel House, the ghoul bites make a bit more sense.

Meant to post this a long time ago:

• Eating an opponent with Ghoultouched doesn't seem to change the message, doesn't matter whether you have hunger free
• Always seem to learn 2-3 of Ghoul Bite, and damage seemed to be proportional to the number of turns of Degenerate Mists you have left, with some randomness. Didn't have a ton of datapoints though, so might just be me looking for patterns where there aren't any.

Nothing special apparent from eating the following with this effect active: meaty haunch, raw heart, fleshy coins. Using Ghoul Bite on opponents both in and out of The Charnel House (Reopened) without having the Ghoultouched skill also doesn't seem to do anything special.

I should probably get around to writing my huge Spading Debriefing on the Charnel House. Catalog everything I've tried. It'll save people like you, Mag, a whole lot of trouble cause you haven't yet tried anything I haven't.

If you want to try something for sure that I haven't, you could try Toppling the statue with the unending chain.
