A boss version of well wisher is faced at the bottom of the [[Roots of Ygg]], attempting to prevent the party from purifying its waters. Care should be taken as it is capable of incapacitating the party by putting them to sleep or intimidating them with its sudden shouts. At least one character should have access to [[Dawn Chorus]] to keep the party awake and [[Sap]] is recommended as it has no resistance against it.

The '''EvilWell''' appears as a boss in [[Krage]]. It should be treated as a stronger version of an EvilWell. There isn't anything spectacular with this boss to merit any worry. However, don't waste much magic power on this one because the [[WolfDevil (Boss)]] is right after this fight.
