Crimson Wisp

The Crimson Wisp is a type of Wisp that appears in the Wii U version of Sonic Lost World. They grant Sonic the Crimson Eagle Color Power. They appear in Desert Ruins, Silent Forest and Sky Road.

Physical Appearance
The Crimson Wisps are colored crimson with three wide spikes extending from the top of their head and have three orange eyes that form a triangular pattern on their face. They also have three thin tentacles stemming from the bottom of their head.

Powers and Abilities
As Wisps, the Crimson Wisps are able to float in midair at will, which serve as their main method for movement.

The Crimson Wisps are able to generate and store their own unique variant of a powerful energy known as Hyper-go-on inside their own bodies, which is their life source. It is unclear to what extent they can use their own Hyper-go-on.

The Crimson Wisps are able to enter the body of other beings, as if they are intangible, and lend their Hyper-go-on to the being in question. In Sonic's case, when using a Crimson Wisp's Hyper-go-on, it transforms him into the Crimson Eagle, which allows him to soar through the air and collect Rings at ease.

Trivia

 * The Crimson Wisp has some similarities to both the Pink Wisp and the Red Wisp from Sonic Colors, as the Crimson Wisp's body design is similar to the former while the color of the Crimson Wisp is nearly identical to the latter.
