Lost soul

The lost soul is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest IV. It is a cobalt coloured variant of the firespirit. Rather than being an elemental manifestation of fire come to life, it is the lingering anguish of the forgotten given form.

Characteristics

Lost souls are wisps composed of blue flames that have a sorrowful visage. They have a tendency to self-destruct at the drop of a hat in an attempt to take their enemies to the grave with them. Depending on the game, the lost soul has been a member of the undead family or the elemental family.
