Spectre (Dungeons & Dragons)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the spectre is an undead creature. A spectre is an incorporeal creature that resembles a ghost, with a hatred for all living things. A spectre drains the life energy from living creatures, turning them into new spectres upon death. A spectre is powerless in natural sunlight and flees from it.
A spectre is always lawful evil. A spectre appears as a humanoid, but with a mostly transparent and faintly luminous form. A spectre looks much as it did in life, and can be recognized by someone who knows what the person looked like.
