Wisp (MHEX2)

Wisps are spirits of humans and monsters that never left the mortal world and some become corrupt because of it.

They appear in all Ranks in certain areas

MHEX2
Spirits of people and monsters that never left this world. But don't feel sad for them, since they are extremely aggressive to things that are not dead. They can reanimate corpses to do their dirty work, and supposebly, they can even ressurect Elder Dragons! Hallow Hunters are a common creation of Wisps that posses dead humans.

Move set

 * Simple Possess: A Wisp will fly around in circles in a clockwise direction for a while upon finding a hunter(s), and fly down towards a nearby corpse or bone pile to reanimate it. If it is a corpse of a minion monster, chances are that it will create a "Hallow version" of that monster.
 * Reanimate Hallow Hunter: If no corpses are available it will simply, in certain areas that corpses are non existant, fly down to the ground, and a Hallow Hunter will rise. If there are many Wisps that do this move, chances are that there will be plenty of Hallow Hunters.
 * Team Possess: If a group of Wisps are in the area, and a Boss Monster's corpse is around, they will all Fly around in circles and fly into the corpse and make a "Hallow version" of that Boss Monster. This is what results in many of the "Undead Monsters" That are not infected by the Insanitas Virus.
