**Description:** The Felonious Wraith is the tormented spirit of a thief who met a grisly end after a botched heist. Bound to the material realm by its insatiable greed, it haunts the shadows, seeking to steal the life force of the living. This cunning undead uses stealth and deception to ambush its prey, draining their vitality while instilling fear with its chilling presence. Often found lurking in ruins or abandoned buildings, the Felonious Wraith is relentless in its pursuit of power, embodying the very essence of betrayal and avarice.
