Are you talking about self aware ferals or ghouls generally? Yhere are a ton of ghouls in settlements and towns. The general store chick in Goodneighbor is a ghoul as are some others.
I guess you would just call them ghouls then. Ones you can talk to. In FO/FO2 they were always the grossest ugliest looking things, skin melting off their faces. Don’t remember those in FO3/FNV, and haven’t seen em in FO4 yet. Just ferals.
