 * Wait, why is there even lava underground Castle Hedgehog? Is it that deep underground?
 * So Keel's "birthday" is the day he got out of the Freezis machine, then?
 * Given all this information, is it safe to assume that Keel himself is a ghoul child, and that there was no Freesis family member existing before him?

Octo provides the reasoning, but yes. Behemo intended to eliminate Seth's influence on the ground world. Killing the Freezis family would mean killing humans mixed with ghoul children. Terminating the Freezis device implictly keeps further ghoul children from mixing with humans. So yes, sounds like Keel is a ghoul child.

To quote Behemo: (――Seems some ghoul children have remained in the world still)

And the narration: They seemed to have suspended that function for the time being but there was still the possibility they would start moving if given some impetus.

This makes it pretty clear this was what was being referenced when Behemo sent his message to the Zorachs.
