Veilbound Wisp of the Forgotten Tides

13 hours ago by Admin - Monsters

An ethereal light flickers beneath the surface of the tide, drawing the curious and the unwary alike into the depths. This wisp moves fluidly, shimmering in various hues of blue and green, reminiscent of deep ocean waters under moonlight. Small tendrils of energy coil from its form, hinting at its magical nature. Those who gaze too long into its radiance may find their senses dulled, their thoughts muddled, and their desire to approach almost irresistible. Legends speak of this creature as a lingering soul of ancient mariners lost in the abyss, forever seeking companionship. Its ability to blend into both water and air allows it to evade even the most vigilant eyes.
