**Description:** The Ember Wraith is a malevolent spirit born from the ashes of a once-peaceful neighborhood consumed by flames. It roams the charred remains, seeking vengeance against the living for its fiery demise. With a flickering form that dances like flames, it strikes fear into the hearts of those who dare to approach. The Ember Wraith is cunning, using its ability to absorb fire to lure adventurers into traps, and it revels in the chaos and terror it instills in its victims.
