Homebrew Dark Wraith Species Details

A shadow, a wraith is the physical embodiment of darkness and envoy's of Death. Wraiths apear different to different people because they lost a form to call their own. They appear to most as a shadowy ghost creature with glowing eyes because that's what they expect but if you didn't know it was a wraith it look like a regular human with glowing eyes. Or if you are terrified of that wraith it looks super scary, and if you loved it it would look like your ideal "type". Because of this they often have to ask what they look like when first meeting a person. But along with their appearances changing so do the voice and language they speak. The same thing applies here if you are scared of it they speak infernal, if you love them they speak your native tongue and if you don't know they are a wraith they speak common. They're eyes glow to their alignment red evil, blue good, yellow is neutral. So keep that in mind when talking to one.

A Wraith is a species akin to that of a ghost, but they are powerful enough to transcend the plane of the dead and return to the overworld (even if they can't get back). They're almost ancient, being present since the first human died. They favorited to be summoned by necromancers as servants but few have escaped to form society's and cities, on both sides the overworld and the underworld. As they are feared as avatars of death they have a bad reputation. As a result they hid in the shadows. Lots are appointed to head guards of demonic armies and generals, because they are cunning and clever. Also, being that they can travel to the overworld makes them useful spies. Like a banshee if you see one you'll most likely die.
