Appearances
Final Fantasy
Wraith is an enemy fought at Western Keep and Cavern of Earth. Wraiths are a stronger version of the Shadow and will often appear in groups. They attack with just regular attacks, though their attacks may inflict Paralysis. Upon defeat, a Wraith may drop a Crosier. Wraiths are weak to Fire and Dia attacks, and resist Ice-elemental attacks.
Final Fantasy II
Wraith is an enemy fought at many locations throughout the game, starting at Kashuan Keep. Wraiths are a stronger version of the Shadow, and attack with a weak physical attack that drains HP from the victim to heal the Wraith. Wraiths are weak to Fire-elemental attacks, resists Ice, Poison, Body, Mind, and Matter-elemental attacks, and absorbs Death-elemental attacks.
Final Fantasy IX
Wraith appears as an enemy fought at Mount Gulug in two separate versions, one with a red flame and the other with a blue flame, and always together. The blue Wraith attacks with Devil's Candle, Doom, and Blizzaga, while the red Wraith attacks with Devil's Candle, Doom, and Firaga. When eaten, the blue Wraith teaches Frost, while the red Wraith teaches Mustard Bomb.
