==Characteristics==  
Wandering wispy {{MFamilies}}s that wield and wave a massive sharp knife for slashing at prey, using the [[Material family|lit wick]] on the top of their horrific waxy heads to fling '''[[Frizz]]''' fire magic. They usually creep up on unsuspecting travelers exploring haunted manors, monstrously leaping and lunging out of the dark. Wax drips from atop their heads, leaving behind a trail of ghastly grease that can be used to track their whereabouts.
