**Description:** The Lunar Wraith is a spectral being born from the remnants of lost souls who were consumed by the moon's dark magic. It glides silently through the night, leaving a trail of chilling moonlight in its wake. Tactically, it prefers to strike from the shadows, using its ethereal nature to evade attacks and instill fear in its foes. The Wraith is known for its cunning demeanor, often toying with its prey before delivering the final blow. Its presence is often heralded by an eerie silence, as if the very air has been drained of sound.
