Unofficial Description: A wraith appears as an wispy, shadowy, spectre of a humanoid.

 3.5e lore  [SRD3 OGL] [6] 
Wraiths are incorporeal creatures born of evil and darkness. In some cases, the grim silhouette of a wraith might appear armored or outfitted with weapons. This appearance does not affect the creature’s AC or combat abilities but only reflects the shape it had in life. A wraith is about as tall as a human, while a dread wraith is roughly the size of an ogre. Since both are incorporeal, they are weightless.
