Wraith (Dungeons & Dragons)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the wraith is an undead creature. A wraith is an incorporeal creature born of evil and darkness, despising light and all living things. A wraith drains the constitution from living creatures, turning them into new wraiths upon death. A wraith is powerless in natural sunlight and flee from it.
A wraith is always lawful evil. A wraith appears as a sinister, spectral figure robed in darkness. It has no visual features or appendages, except for its glowing red eyes.
