Date of Discovery: July 9th 2155 (741)

Height by Tier: Tier One: Two and a half meters. Tier Two: Four meters. Tier Three: Six meters.

Update: Like the other species of Evolved, consuming Titan flesh increasing Wraith size. Tier Two: Five meters. Tier Three: Nine meters.

Appearance: Tier One: Despite it's small size, a Tier One Wraith is grotestec. It has a smooth head, with it's mouth being the only feature. Despite the sharp teeth in it's maw, however, Wraith's do not chew their food or bite. They inhale their food, peeling the flesh off bone. A signature feature is a Wraith's lack of eyes. The creature doesn't even have sockets, making it likely to navigate on smell and echolocation. It's torso is like that of an hourglass, due to its four arms. The upper pair end in two massive blades, while the lower end in a four fingered hand with razor sharp claws. The creature has only the beginnings of legs, before they fall apart into three tentacles. They seem to be the secret behind the Wraith's ability to float. Six spikes are centered on the back, but they are small. When cornered however, they to puff out in an attempt to make itself look bigger.

Tier Two: Besides the normal increase in size, the spikes on it's back nearly double in size, and it's blades grow even larger.

Tier Three: Wraith's final Tier in it's evolution cycle is the smallest of the Evolved known. However, one would never underestimate it. The blades on it's upper arm are almost the size of four human's stacked on top of eachother. The spike's on it's back are nearly seven meters in length on their own.

Abilities: Warp Blast, Abduction, Decoy, Supernova

Warp Blast: A Wraith teleport itself to a location, before letting out a blast of energy. The resulting force produced is comparable to being hit by a four ton hippopotamus being thrown at you by hurricane force winds.

Abduction: The Wraith teleports forward, grabbing its target before teleporting back to its original position. Wraith's use this to separate enemies or in even rarer cases, pull an ally out of the fight.

Decoy: This ability allows a Wraith to create a duplicate of itself at nearly five-hundred times as fast as the division of the human cell. While the Decoy is active, the Wraith becomes invisible. The Wraith cannot attack while the Decoy is active, but the Decoy cannot be destroyed. Due to it's instability however, it cannot be held together for long.

Supernova: The Wraith throws out a dome of energy, then redirecting it into itself, increasing its speed and attack power. Anything caught in the dome is cut to ribbons. Wraith's Decoy gains the benefit from the dome as well, and a Wraith can use abduction to bring opponents into the dome.

Combat Strategy: A Wraith that doesn't want to fight is a Wraith that will not be found. Decoy makes the true Wraith next to impossible to pin down. When a Wraith does fight, it favors a hit and run strategy, weakening its foes. Abduction to drag away someone from the protection of a group, Warp Blast when it wants to cut straight to the chase, backing an opponent into a corner before slashing it to pieces with Supernova.

Movement: Wraith has the ability to teleport. How Wraith's can do this has never been discovered.

Danger Rating: B. Wraith's are cunning, sneaky, and hard to capture, and even it you do capture one, you best be ready for the fight of your life. However, they are even more fragile than Kraken's.

Notable Information: Wraith's claws are made out of the same sustain as their arm blades. These massive sword's can tear a tank to pieces. All attempts to replicate a Wraith's teleportation abilities have failed.

Threat Level: Moderate. Due to the fact that most Wraith's will run from a fight, most don't hold much threat to populated areas.

Personality Traits (Species): A Wraith in it's human form is, surprisingly, playful. They almost act like children, liking pranks and other things, such as stealth based games.

Versatility: Severe. Wraith's abilities work well together, and all appear multi purpose. Making this worse is how each Wraith has a different style of approaching for a kill.

Power: Nine

Intelligence: Six

Armor: Three

Defenses: Four

Adaptability: Seven

Range: One

Agility: Ten

Speculation: While the appearance of the Wraith was unexpected, due to it arriving a year earlier than anticipated, mankind was more prepared for the new variant, due to the connection between what was used to counter the last group and the new species. However, an Evolved that focused on stealth was a shock, especially after the bulky Rage Trooper Armor used to counter the Kraken's. Even further his Wraith's total disregard for physics. It can create a clone of itself, teleport, and float's without electrical or magnetic manipulation. Trying to manipulate the mutation ourselves proved to be a failure, what we expected to be a slow, bulky new species, now a small, fast, and nimble one.
