Banshee and Specter
Banshees are incorporeal undead elf and human women, known for their unholy screams. Elf banshees have existed since the time of the War of the Ancients. The male counterpart of the banshee is the spectre.
A banshee, is a female spirit who cries on dark nights, wailing a warning of those who will die. Banshees are not specifically malicious spirits, though meeting one is considered to be an omen of the worst kind. Their appearance varies, though most often they're pale, thin women wearing grey vestments, with burning red eyes.
Old gossips claim banshees were once beautiful woman brutally murdered by demons now stuck between life and death. Their wails and howls are considered ill omens of imminent, inevitable death, though they are said not to attack the living themselves. Most often they appear in the form of pale, tear-streaked women with shriveled faces and wrinkled, corpse-like bodies.
Their restless spirits were left to wander the world for many ages in silent, tortured lamentation. Over the years they became jealous of the living and seeded a deep hatred for all life. A banshee-haunted place and the vicinity of a banshee is cold, though in no harmful way. Animals also refuse to get into the vicinity of a banshee and suffer from uncontrollable fear when forced to go near one.
