The Wraith Walker possesses an ethereal form that allows it to phase through trees and baskets, leaving trails of icy mist that chill the air around players. It can manipulate shadows and create faint, disembodied whispers that disorient competitors, and its presence causes disc flights to waver unnaturally near water hazards. This entity is immune to physical harm but can be temporarily dispelled by precise shots that land in the basket, symbolizing a momentary victory over fear.

The Wraith Walker haunts the course by altering players' perceptions, causing minor environmental shifts like moving branches or creating phantom sounds that lead to costly errors. It serves as a constant reminder of the stakes, pushing survivors to rely on instinct and precision under duress.
