This undead spirit appears as a cloud of black mist surrounding an insubstantial skeletal form. Its eyes burn bright with unholy malevolence and hunger for life essence, on which it feeds. God, though this life is but a wraith, Although we know not what we use, Although we grope with little faith, Give me the heart to fight—and lose. -Louis Untermeyer, Prayer. 1919

Useful Info

Wraiths are evil, incorporeal undead monsters. Like most undead they resist poison and cold, and like wights they have XP-draining attacks. Unlike wights, they do not wield weapons or arrive in packs, making them much less dangerous foes. They can be found in the middle-floors of the Dungeon, as well as in the Crypt.

Tips & Tricks

• You can summon your own wraiths with the Haunt spell.

History

In 0.13 Wraiths will drain speed instead of xp. This low-duration slow enchantment is fully-resistable with one level of life protection.
