:bi:`Stench`. Any creature that starts its turn within 5 feet of the
ghast must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or be :ref:`poisoned`
until the start of its next turn. On a successful saving throw, the
creature is immune to the ghast's Stench for 24 hours.

:bi:`Turning Defiance`. The ghast and any ghouls within 30 feet of it
have advantage on saving throws against effects that turn undead.
