Bestiary Entry
Genus: Undead Class: Reaper

Page 1: Observations
"Being casualties of invasion or oppression, these entities appear before those who are doomed to die, cutting away their victims' lives with cruel scythes, out of hatred for the men who ended theirs. Many accounts hold these creatures to be a sort of grim reaper, but recent research has confirmed them to be nothing more than ghosts."

Page 2: The Town Crier
"Hear ye, hear ye! Another Day of Dust has come and gone, and what a day it was! On what other day can you have fey dust sprinkled upon your forehead, instantly absolving you of all sin and evil? Of course, it's not always such a day of rejoicing. Why, last year, shipments of the dust, known as soul powder, where waylaid and merchants everywhere sold out of the stuff far too quickly. This year, stock was set aside in advance, and all who wished to participate could."

Trivia

 * Etéms sometimes spawn Necrofiends after being defeated, which is odd since they belong to the Reaper classification, which is supposed to be a higher order of the Undead with no soul to become a ghost. Also, their entry in the Bestiary states that they are nothing but ghosts, raising the mystery even higher as ghosts aren't supposed to release ghosts after being defeated due to them being souls themselves.
 * Much like the Reapers found in the Great Crystal, the Etéms can be made docile if Vanish or Vanishga is used on them, since they do not attack the party if they are invisible.
