Spirit Beast

Spirit Beasts are beasts who carry a spirit of a fallen with them. This company often gives the beast higher intelligence and other cunning and sly characteristics much alike those of human races.
Fighting a spirit beast is harrowing, as the creature phases in and out of existence, rarely appearing in the same place twice during battle. Spirit beasts appear like regular animals, but bear glowing auras and are slightly translucent, even when visible.
==Appearance==
It is common belief that there are many Spirit Beasts hidden everywhere on Azeroth, but that they have the ability to only be seen if they wish to. Their pelt is said to shine with the purest rays of the moon, which is the only thing known to be in common for these creatures.
==Religion==
To some beliefs and religions these creatures are seen as gods and worshipped and praised with treasures. 
The most famous of these is Har'koa, one of the Loa goddesses of the Drakkari. As one of the Primal Ice Gods she is captured in Zul'Drak where the Drakkari twists and uses her children against her will.
