A tattered black cowl obscures the spectral monk's face. Given the burning green eyes and foul stench he exudes, perhaps that is for the best. Tattered rags cloak his shimmering pellucid form. Its ghostly body flickers in and out of existance, as if only his desire to destroy keeps him bound to this plane.
Hunting strategies
They have the ability to heal themselves and the monastic liches, so you may want to kill them first. The upper level of the monastery is somewhat more dangerous than the lower level because of them.
Other information
Spectral monks disperse into the wind almost immediately once dead. So it is best to search them immediately after killing. They will decay at the start of what would have been their next round to perform an action.
When they kill you they will sometimes claw into your forehead, which gives a rank 3 head wound and nerve damage:
The spectral monk moans victoriously!

A spectral monk's eyes blaze with hate.

A spectral monk pulls back his cowl a moment revealing nothing but a pair of blazing green eyes floating in the dark emptiness.
