Illumination. The zappergeist sheds bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light in an additional 30 feet.

Incorporeal Movement. The zappergeist can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.

Lightning Absorption. Whenever the zappergeist is subjected to lightning damage, it takes no damage and regains a number of hit points equal to the lightning damage dealt.

The ghost of a long-dead predator. The zappergeist is nearly capable of sustaining its metabolism on electricity alone, reluctantly supplementing this "diet" with organic material as needed. It can store thousands of volts in specialized cells filling its hollow but tough bones, and can discharge excess energy to protect itself. Its innermost jaws are particularly conductive, and can release the monster's entire remaining charge in one deadly, short-range bolt under dire enough circumstances. When it passes through matter on the material plane, it leaves behind ectoplasmic slime which smells extremely acidic, stings to the touch, and emits a pale blue glow, but is oddly enough not conductive to electricity. If necessary, it may saturate allies in its slime to avoid harming them.
