The Witcher Season 2: 10 Monsters We Want To See
9. Wraiths
One of the most exciting things about this world - and the job of a Witcher - is that nothing is ever as simple as it seems. In many shows/books, the protagonist tends to deal with a set amount of enemies, I.e. brutish beasts, ghostly apparitions or mythological entities. But, the world of The Witcher allows all of these creatures to share the same world, leading to plenty of wild encounters.
Netflix's inaugural season gave viewers some great experiences with more complex monsters, like dopplers and strigas, but one thing it didn't explore was the idea of spectres. Wraiths are a terrifying creation, as they act as a physical embodiment of a lost souls fury and sadness, meaning that they are overflowing with storytelling potential.
Outside of the emotional plot that can be brought out of such a creature, they are also terrifying. Episode three of the first season gave viewers a glimpse into how well the series can move in the horror genre, so why not go full out next season?
The show should give viewers a whole episode dedicated to these terrifying creatures and make it the scariest one to date.
