This beautiful, ghostly elven woman glides through the air, her long hair flowing around a face knotted into a mask of rage. The Banshee is a ghostly apparition of a tormented soul, often appearing as a withered woman wreathed in spectral mist. Her scream is a psionic shockwave of raw anguish that shatters minds and leaves victims broken. Drawn to emotion and grief, the Banshee drifts through the veil of reality, using her psychic abilities to torment the living.
