Banshees can inflict the Silence status on members of your party but besides that, they are not very threatening.

==Information== | |||
This grotesque spirit cries out in a sad voice, appearing in front of people when misfortune strikes. Its appearance was confirmed in the [[Cave of the Past]] behind [[Qlon Temple]], and it is said that those who heard its cry lost their voices in fear. It also seems that [[Landscape Painting]]s could sometimes be found on its person. | |||

The term banshee comes from the Irish bean sí ("woman of the sídhe" or "woman of the fairy mounds"). The banshee is a female spirit in Irish mythology, usually seen as an omen of death and a messenger from the Otherworld. In legend, a banshee is a fairy woman who begins to wail if someone is about to die. | The term banshee comes from the Irish bean sí ("woman of the sídhe" or "woman of the fairy mounds").
