Dreamhaunt
From Monsterbook
A slowly-twisting column of dark smoke sways mesmerizingly back and forth. An eerily-familiar, humanoid face formed by the mist gazes at you with pale blue eyes that float within.

Light Sensitivity (Ex): A dreamhaunt is dazzled in bright sunlight or in the radius of a daylight spell.
Wisdom wound (Su): Any intelligent creature harmed by a dreamhaunt's incorporeal touch attack (with the exception of any creature that is immune to fear such as paladins) must succeed at a DC 16 Will Save or lose 1 point of Wisdom (the dreamhaunt gains 5 temporary hit points on a successful wisdom wound). This wisdom damage does not recover naturally and cannot be restored by any spells short of a limited wish or miracle. Once the dreamhaunt that inflicted the wisdom wound has been destroyed, the wisdom wound converts to normal ability score damage that recovers normally. The save DC is Charisma based.
Nightmare Link (Su): A single creature that received wisdom burn from a dreamhaunt is later assaulted through her dreams. Each time the victim attempts to sleep (or trance in the case of elves), she is affected as if by a nightmare spell. Any damage inflicted on the victim from the nightmare, restores an equal amount of hit points to the dreamhaunt. As soon as the dreamhaunt is restored to full hit points, it discorporates and reappears adjacent to the victim as she wakes.
The dreamhaunt is the remnant of a humanoid that killed itself in the throes of despair. It
