Command the spirits of the damned with the Haunting Specter, a terrifying large-scale undead miniature. Featuring a muscular desiccated frame spiraling from a runic pillar, this spirit wields a malevolent, eye-set poleaxe to harvest the souls of your adventuring party.
An ancient specter rises from its runic anchor, letting out a soul-piercing shriek as it prepares to strike with a cursed poleaxe.
Acts as a major dungeon boss, a guardian of a necromantic ritual site, or a legendary soul-collector encountered in the Shadowfell.
