The engerra Strides or Flies. This movement doesn't trigger reactions. During the movement, the engerra can move through occupied spaces and tiny cracks, and it ignores difficult terrain and greater difficult terrain. It then coalesces back into its normal form.
The engerra draws the air from around breathing creatures in a 40-foot emanation, giving them the feeling of drawing their last breath. Enemies in the area must attempt a DC 26 will save. If at least one creature fails the save, the engerra can gift the stolen breath to a willing creature within 40 feet, granting that creature temporary Hit Points that last for 1 minute.

The engerra finds words to bolster a creature's spirits. The engerra spends 10 minutes speaking with a willing creature. If that creature has the Fatigued condition, it's no longer fatigued. The creature can't benefit from any engerra's Final Words of Wisdom again for 1 year.
Born of those who sacrificed their lives for something greater than themselves, engerras resemble swarms of glowing fireflies and are sometimes mistaken for will-o'-wisps or simple tricks of the light. They are most often encountered in the tombs of legendary heroes but might linger anywhere such a hero has drawn their final breath.
Engerras believe that tales of worthy sacrifice hold great power. They gather the memories of those who died in service of a noble cause and then share those memories with mortals who might be inspired or cheered by them. An engerra's trademark glow is a sign of both sorrow and hope, for it simultaneously associates the death of a great hero with the determination to honor that hero's legacy.
