Eidolon


 * For information about the focus item, see Ominous Eidolon.

Description
Eidolons are hovering creatures resembling a floating octopus. They are always elementalists. The Seer in the Iron Mines of Moladune describes the Eidolon as a creature of "malice and shade" having a natural defense against Spectral Agony, the racial skill of the Mursaat. When killed, the Eidolon drops a Spectral Essence that the Seer uses to infuse the Eidolon's natural defenses into the armor worn by the players, thus giving them a fighting chance against the Mursaat.

It is unknown why the Eidolons are able to resist the Mursaat, whether it be by accident, breeding, or evolutionary adaptation due to common origin (the Eidolon in the Ring of Fire mission is "maintained" by the Mursaat). Neither should one trust the Seer's word that the Eidolons are evil creatures, for no one knows where the Seers stand to begin with.
