#bog wraith

Born of the Swamp. Because of their connection to the darkened canopies of swampland, bog wraiths are far more dangerous to encounter when in the dark. Just as with a normal wraith, a bog wraith is weakened in the sunlight, and presents a much easier foe. But in the dark, a bog wraith grows twice as strong, becoming a truly fearsome opponent. Bog wraiths also have control over the twisted plants of the swamp, using the vines to drag creatures into the murky swamp water, hoping to drown them. Bog wraiths will often use these vines to hold their victims still as they drain the life from them, before resurrecting the creature into a spectral servant for them to command.

Spectral Leader. Because of the danger bog wraiths present, it is not uncommon to encounter them with several specters already under their control. A swamp inhabited by a bog wraith is usually the source of several disappearances, but even so, nearby towns and villages may not even know of the bog wraith’s presence, believing the disappearances to be the result of travelers getting lost in the unfamiliar and marshy terrain. When fighting a bog wraith surrounded by specters, it is important to remember that the poor souls are beyond saving, and everything they do is entirely at the behest of the wraith.
