Dread Wraith

Dread Wraith
Wraith, LE Large Undead (Incorporeal)
Level 18 (+7)
"I saw the Dread Wraith descend upon my allies, and I knew our adventure had come to an end. Judge me all you want, but I’m alive and I plan to stay alive, well away from any tomb, crypt, or graveyard for the rest of my miserable life."
——Malone Fenwick, Fallen Paladin
The Dread Wraith comes into existence when an ordinary wraith manages to steal 100 mortal lives, siphoning off enough life force to expand into a veritable effigy of death and terror. The Dread Wraith is far more intelligent and powerful than an ordinary wraith, able to send the living screaming in fear, or drain the life from even the most vibrant and healthy of beasts with a single touch. While an ordinary Wraith is semi-translucent, the Dread Wraith appears as a pitch black, inky cloud of vaguely humanoid shaped shadow. The living can sense this powerful force’s will the moment they lay eyes on it, recognizing that nothing other than pure anti-life is contained within its shrouded form. Very few who encounter such a monstrosity survive, and the few that have are historically far too warped by the touch of shadows to ever speak of the battle.

Create Spawn
Any humanoid creature of small, medium, or large size slain by a wraith rises as a Wraith Spawn in [1d20 + 10] segments, the creature's body left behind as its soul is ripped from its body by dark forces. The Wraith Spawn is under the complete control of the Wraith that created them. If the Wraith is killed, the spawn become free-willed and try to flee to a dark corner of the world. In 1d10 days they will emerge as a full Wraith. (Advanced)
