This abomination looks like a hovering, darting ball of brilliant light. Some believe they’re ghosts of folks drowned in quicksand, crushed in mining accidents, or dead via other misfortunes. No one knows the truth, but everyone agrees they’re dangerous. Will o’ the wisps are difficult to harm, and are themselves incapable of causing injury.
Instead they tempt nighttime travelers to follow them toward some hazard—a mineshaft, raging river, quicksand, or high cliffs. When unfortunates get hurt or killed, wisps feed on their pain and suffering. Wisps are intelligent and communicate via flashing patterns of light. They rarely communicate with humans, though, unless they’re trying to manipulate a foolish mortal into a fatal mistake.
