original ghouls were shapeshifters that was their ability in here to transform either into an animal form or steal identity of an another person

now many think Uta is shapeshifter there was even one shot story about Hysoka from HunterXHunter that was done by master Ishida I won't give any spoilers I will just say that people think that certain character in it is like some sort of foreshadow to Uta's rumored abilities

these are theories and I hate theories so I will keep long story short: if Uta is shapeshifter and only big if then in that case he would be closest thing to actual ghoul from myth
