These small elementals, commonly called ghost lights, are known to lure unsuspecting wanderers deep into the woods. Those poor souls follow the beautiful lights that the elementals emit, before finding themselves trapped in large groups of different elementals. Naturally, in the woods spirit and water elementals are most common, but light elementals and fire elementals make appearances as well. Other elements are possible if rare and often a sign for other (often magical) happenings in the area. The damage they cause upon touch corresponds to their element and ignores armor, as they simply pass through all but magical armor. Instinct: to search and steal energy

An aranea is an intelligent, shapechanging spider with sorcerous powers. In its natural form, an aranea resembles a humpbacked spider a little bigger than a human, and weighs about 150 pounds. The hump on its back houses the aranea's brain. All araneas have a single alternate form as well—this alternate form is that of a Small or Medium humanoid. Although an aranea can assume a spider-hybrid variant of this form, it cannot use its change shape ability to assume multiple humanoid forms—this additional shape is locked into one unique appearance. Araneas typically gather in small colonies of two to six individuals, making webbed nests high in trees. These colonies work together to research magic, and may change membership many times over as individuals leave to pursue their own studies and are replaced by newer members. A single aranea may take on humanoid form and live for years in a humanoid community, never revealing its true nature. Though araneas generally prefer to be left alone, they often prove quite knowledgeable about the ways of magic, and if approached peacefully may be willing to share their expertise for the right price (typically a magic item or some service). Skilled spellcasters, araneas try to avoid physical combat and use their webs and spells when they can. Rather than kill their enemies, araneas often subdue opponents and hold them for ransom.
