Will-o’-wisps can be yellow, white, green, or blue. They are easily mistaken for lanterns, especially in the foggy marshes and swamps where they reside. A will-o’-wisp’s body is a globe of spongy material about 1 foot across and weighing about 3 pounds, and its glowing body sheds as much light as a torch.

Will-o’-wisps speak Common and Auran. They have no vocal apparatus but can vibrate to create a voice with a ghostly sound.

===Combat===

Will-o’-wisps usually avoid combat. They prefer to [[SRD:Confused|confuse]] and be[[SRD:Wilder|wilder]] adventurers, luring them into morasses or other hazardous places. When they are forced to fight, they loose small electrical shocks, which act as melee [[SRD:Touch Attack|touch attacks]].

'''Immunity to Magic ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' A will-o’-wisp is immune to most [[SRD:Creature Spells and Powers#Spells|spells]] or [[SRD:Spell-Like Ability|spell-like abilities]] that allow [[SRD:Spell Resistance and Spell Immunity#Spell Resistance (Ex)|spell resistance]], except ''[[SRD:Magic Missile|magic missile]]'' and ''[[SRD:Maze|maze]].''

'''Natural Invisibility ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' A startled or [[SRD:Frightened|frightened]] will-o’-wisp can extinguish its glow, effectively becoming [[SRD:Invisible|invisible]] as the spell.
