**Description:** The Icebound Wraith is a malevolent spirit formed from the souls of those who perished in the icy wilderness, driven by a desire for vengeance. Cloaked in tattered, frost-covered robes, it glides silently through the air, leaving a trail of frost in its wake. The Wraith uses its chilling presence to sap the strength of its foes, preferring to strike from the shadows and isolate its targets. It is cunning and will often use terrain to its advantage, luring adventurers into treacherous icy traps.
