Something unusual is happening with the Physical and Spiritual realms. Killing beings in the Physical realm is causing them shed a bit of their spirit in the form of essence. The more powerful the creature, the greater chance it will shed. If you collect enough of this essence, a particularly foul creature will be summoned to steal the essence from you.

Killing this creature will grant you a special prize. This may be the very rare random crate (see the next post), a rare item listed below, a costume fragment. It does not matter who kills this creature, but if it was after you, the item will be placed in your inventory.

You can only harvest this creature so many times in a 24 hour period.
