Will-o-wisp

(image)

Will-o-wisps are creatures of the purest spiritual essence of nature. They are extremely rare, and are usually found in only the remotest of locales. While they can be summoned by powerful magicians, the only other time they will be found outside of their haunts is when they choose to serve as companion to a being of pure heart and intention. As far as is known, this has happened only a handful of times, and in all cases, the fortunate recipient has been an elf. It is said that those who are so chosen are destined for greatness. While this has often proven to be true, it is also known that those who are accepted as wisp-friends often end up sacrificing themselves in the pursuit of their noble ideals, and thus, die before their time.

Will-o-wisps are extremely fast, and resistant to most types of attack. In addition, they regenerate rapidly.
