The specter is a creature in Might & Magic: Heroes VI. A Core creature in the Necropolis faction, it is the upgraded version of the ghost.

Specters are created through particularly slow and painful deaths. Their wounds, forever petrified and apparent, cause them to constantly relive the agony of their demise. Specters can psychically inflict upon an enemy the same suffering that they received. Necromancers control these tormented spirits by persuading them through magic, making them believe they are the only beings that can assuage their agony.^OffBck

	Of all the children of Ashan, it`s their dead I hate the most! I smashed that spectre seven times, before it finally gave up its ghost. The Arch-Demon Zol-Moran is said to have been the first to encounter an army of spectres on the battlefield. His legion of Juggernauts was decimated and he swore that the next time he escaped Sheogh, he would bring magic users. The Ghost can move through stacks, walls and obstacles. Damage (Might) dealt to her is reduced by 25%.OffBck
	Death Seal
	It was as if the spectre had marked his soul for harvest. In the diary of Priestess Jane, she explains the difficulty she had resurrecting soldiers who had been attacked by spectres. She claimed that the spectre had the power to seal its victim`s rendez-vous with death, making it extremely difficult to bring them back to life during the heat of a battle. Reduces healing by 50% on attacked target and all adjacent creatures for 3 turns. Only living creatures are affected.OffBck
