Kadi'i, Doom Sprite

Lore
Unlike other nature sprites, Kadi'i subsisted upon darkness. Deep within the dreary forest, he would flush out monsters along with the occasional lost wanderer, hunting for the faintest scraps of evil. Though sprites were entities of light--and therefore ablated by malice--he craved the power it offered and continued to accumulate more, all the while indifferent to his approaching end.
