Spectres are mysterious, incorporeal beings that resemble ghosts. As disembodied humanoids who typically appear as phantom-like humanoids they are surrounded by clouds of mist and their touch is cold and draining of life energy. The Chaos Lord Rixil, the spectre is called such for his discorporate form on the Chaos Plane.
