Will-o'-the-Wisps

Will-o'-the-wisps appear on coasts to trick ships into crashing against submerged rocks. Old sailor tales say they are the spirits of long-dead ships - klabauter from ships that were mistreated before they wrecked. Many a night wanderer has been led astray by their alluring glow. 
These creatures feed on the despair humanoids experience in the final moments of a life cut short. They're capable of altering the intensity of their glow or turning fully invisible, and they move incredibly fast, always hovering just above the ground. 
Their chief tactic is to lure unsuspecting victims to drowning pools or the nests of monsters, swooping in at the final moment of the creature's life to feed. When all else fails, they make use of a potent electrical discharge, but in most cases it is more common for them to flee and await the arrival of easier prey.
