PoE Primal Wisps & Primal monsters

As you return from the Wildwood, any Wisps you have saved from the Affliction disperse into the environment and inhabit randomly-chosen monsters, increasing their power and also their rewards. The different types of Wisps have different effects, and sometimes more than one type will inhabit a single monster, making the fight even harder and even more rewarding.

Primal Wisps

Primal (Blue) Wisps cause them to drop currency items.
