I ended up suffering a horrible art block while creating this event! In the end, the spirit ended up much different then I intended, but I am satisfied for the time being.
I hope you enjoy it!

Information:

Height: 6' 1" (186cm) (Note: This is taken from feet, to the hump of its back. Not standing.)
Weight: 214lb. (97kg.)

Ability: Light Swallowing
Personality: Skittish, rash, and flighty.
Possible Fate: Its moaning in the darkness suggests a cold and dark death. Its nose wrinkles and snorts as if it has had issues with breathing in the past, and is use to a struggle.
Attack Method: It thrashes it's front limbs at its proclaimed foe. It's accuracy is low, as it appears not to be able to see very well. It will instantly charge at any light wielding person or object, and clench it with it's powerful jaw. Because this spirit is comprised of waxy material when tangible, touching it may cause burns when the wick has a large flame.

If the flame becomes large enough and its body becomes more flexible, it may fling hot wax around.

Movement: It appears to prefer moving on four legs as opposed to two, however this does not stop it from standing on its feet should it need to reach something. It's long neck and front arms cause it to be top heavy and clumsy. It appears not to be able to move very quickly, and can't make sharp turns. It would prefer not to have to chase its prey, as it becomes exhausted easily, as shown by the flame on its head, which will become dim when tired.

Due to the fact that its eye site is bad, it can't differentiate between objects and people, it may even attack a lamp.

It's highly flexible, able to fit under and around objects. It may even stick to walls and the ceiling, to ambush possible light holders, leaving trails of wax behind.

Favourite Dwelling Place: It doesn't stay still in one place for long unless the area has many sources of light for it to eat. It will search outdoors and in the various rooms of the inn to satiate its appetite.

Additional Facts:
:bulletred: This creature will attempt to eat guest and staff room keys. Any guest who's room key is eaten will die instantly.
:bulletred: It cries and moans when it can't find new lights to swallow.
:bulletred: Those who attempt to use fire magic in it's presence will be surprised, as it can sip the fire right out of the air. (Same with any magic that produces light.)

Lovely design - just some questions:

1) It says "This creature will attempt to eat guest and staff room keys. Any guest who's room key is eaten will die instantly."
Does that mean staff is safe from the key-destroyed-and-you-die-effect?

2) Apart from the guests members make, are there also NPC-guest-characters? I just wondered in case one wanted to show the effect of being killed by key being eaten by simply killing of a no-name-guest.
