Wraith (Basic Lore)

Wraith (CR 5)
Chaotic Evil - Medium - Undead
Wraiths appear as tall, ghostly figures shrouded in a wispy cloak that seems to move in a breeze that doesn't exist. Wraiths are undead creatures of pure wrath, driven by an unspeakable hatred of all living things. A wraith's hatred is so great that small plant life near them withers within seconds. Many druids have observed that some animals seem capable of anticipating the approach of wraiths, often fleeing an area moments before the wraith appears. Even less sensitive animals are terrified of wraiths, becoming uncontrollably afraid and fleeing at the first opportunity. Wraiths are merciless and cunning, phasing through walls and other obstacles to mask their approach, dispatching their prey with quick efficiency. Wraiths do not savor murder, they simply perform it and move to the next, as if in a hurry to get it all done with. Despite this efficient nature, when attacking, wraiths often scream or utter dark curses, venting their wrath for any surviving ears to hear.
