Homebrew Dark-Wraith Species Details
Wraiths are a mysterious folk who are made of shadows and can change their form at will. Because they have a natural hate for all light, wraiths will avoid light as much as possible. They are able to take the form of any being they have seen before, though there is often something wrong with the form they chose, such as completely black eyes or hair that does not move in the wind. Because they possess no body, Wraiths are unable to speak and are able to communicate via telepathy.
