Wispers are a unique monster found in arctic, Snow Biome, and tundra biomes. They are also found in underground layers 0c, 1a, 3c and 3d, as well as in ice Ancient Vaults.

They are intangible, passing through solid blocks. When provoked, they swell and shoot an ice ball from their mouth (2 base damage) before chasing their target through terrain and solid objects in an attempt to deal contact damage.

Wispers are based off of Will-o'-wisps.

This monster has a weakness (+50% damage taken) to Fire damage and a resistance (-50% damage taken) to Ice damage. Additionally, it cannot be inflicted with Frost.

Rare Form

It has an identical drop pool, base stats, and spawn area, but applies the status effect burning when touched. this variant attacks at a closer range with a flamethrower-like attack similar to the Fennix.

This form can also be captured, and when caught will complete an entry in the Rare Pets collection.
