Will-o-the-wisps are strange, fey creatures that resemble dancing lights or torches. Living in desolate and dangerous locations, they seek to draw unwary travellers into bogs or quicksand. Will-o-the-wisps are immune to all spells with the exception of protection from evil, magic missile, and maze. If a will-o-the-wisp is clearly faced with death in combat, it will bargain the location of its treasure in exchange for freedom. The range of a will-o-the-wisp’s electric shock attack is 10-ft.
