Creature 7 (unique) — aberration, air

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

Malevolent balls of colored light, will-o'-wisps haunt lonely marshes and forests where they lure unsuspecting travelers into danger. Will-o'-wisps can vary the color and illumination they shed, and delight in mimicking bobbing lanterns or distant fires to draw lost or disoriented travelers off of safe trails. They can extinguish their illumination entirely to become invisible, and they enjoy doing so once their victims are wholly lost and have realized that the bobbing light in the distance isn

Abilities

Glow (aura, light) — 20 feet. A will-o'-wisp is itself naturally invisible, but glows with a colored light, casting bright light in the aura and making it visible.
Magic Immunity — A will-o'-wisp is immune to all spells except Faerie Fire, Revealing Light, Force Barrage, and Quandary.
Feed on Fear (concentrate) — Requirement An enemy is under a fear effect or Dying within 15 feet of the will-o'-wisp. Effect The will-o'wisp feeds on the creature's terror. It regains 2d4 healing Hit Points, and if it has Gone Dark, its glow reignites. A will-o'-wisp can take this action only once per round.
Go Dark (concentrate) — The will-o'-wisp extinguishes its glow, becoming Invisible. It can end this effect with another use of this action. If it uses its shock attack while invisible, the arc of electricity lets any observer determine its location, making the will-o'-wisp only Hidden to all observers until it moves.
Invoke Stisshak (auditory, illusion, occult, visual) — Frequency once per day Effect The Spirit of Stisshak manifests a shimmering form, that of a regal lizardfolk king made of flickering ghostly light. This image is Medium and must manifest within 10 feet of the will-o'-wisp. The will-o'-wisp can sustain the image by concentrating, and can speak through it and control minor motions (such as movement of limbs), but cannot cause it to leave the square in which it appeared. The will-o'-wisp gains a +2 circumstance bonus on Intimidation checks made to demoralize foes through this invoked image. Any damage inflicted to the will-o'-wisp or the illusion itself causes the invoked illusion to vanish immediately.
