Banshee

This article covers the undead creature. For the thieves' guild of the same name, see Banshees.

A banshee is the restless spirit of a person who was either betrayed by or who betrayed trusted friends in the moments before dying.²¹³ Banshees despise the living, with some speculation that kinder mortals lead to even crueler banshees.¹³

Abilities

Banshees are known for their spiteful retaliation to being attacked, deadly piercing wail, and terror-inspiring touch.¹³

Banshees become sluggish when in sunlight.³

On Golarion

Many banshees lurk in the demon-plagued Tanglebriar in the elven nation of Kyonin. Many victims of an ancient betrayal also inhabit the frigid wastelands in northern Avistan as banshees.³
