Trophy Wraith

Born from the first tag theft in the Underdark's history, the Trophy Wraith emerged when a delver's ruthless ambition merged with their victim's burning resentment. The stolen tag became a vessel for this dark energy, and now the Wraith roams the league seeking to accumulate all trophies earned through raiding. It exists as a living record of every successful theft, growing stronger with each tag that changes hands through aggression.

The Trophy Wraith manifests as a spectral entity that can bond with any tag in the Underdark. When held, it creates a flickering green-gold glow around the bearer's arm, marking them as a successful raider. The Wraith grants its holder enhanced 'raid intuition' - a +2 bonus to identifying vulnerable targets - but also makes them visible to other delvers who seek to claim the Wraith itself. The entity can temporarily leave the tag to investigate other competitions, returning with intelligence about potential targets across leagues.

The Trophy Wraith serves as the guardian of legitimate trophy claims in the Underdark. It appears uninvited to delvers who have acquired tags through successful raids, challenging their worthiness and deciding whether their claim will be blessed or cursed. Those deemed unworthy by the Wraith find their tags growing heavier and their luck turning sour until they either defend successfully or surrender their gains.
