Will-O-Wisp (Or Will-o'-the-wisp or Will-of-the-wisp) are from old folklores actually.

I noticed that too...Maybe some of the Moderators gave suggestions on the item name to be that...There are some mods that play Pokemon

I guess it is good for Inuyasha fans. It'd be good for Kikyo roleplayers. (the blue orbs around me)

Darn! I was hoping I would be the one who gets to tell everyone that! Oh well. I'm going to try to get it. I'm kind of broke though...

You know, not to burst your bubble or anything they probably named it Will-o-the-wisp because its near halloween, a wisp was a spirit (or fairy in some legends) that led unsuspecting travellers off their path generally to their doom.

A will-o-wisp is also what many people call the ghostly lights that appear over marshes and swamps caused by the oxiditation of gases that come from decaying matter. >>

That was a bit interesting. Did you already know that, or did you get it from Wikipedia or something?

It's common knowledge for anyone who likes ghosts; I got one for my ghost account here on gaia since the Furugasa ghost tail stinks.

Well I knew the first paragraph with the ghost stuff. I didn't know the swamp thing though.

Hmm... The Golden Fleece reminds me of Mareep because Mareep's fur it Gold.

I was hoping to open everyone's eyes about real Will-o-wisps, too. x) You guys all beat me to it.

I think the Golden Fleece is cute. I'd like to get it if only for the ram's horns, even though the Aries' horns look better. =P

I knew this already. Though it's really common knowledge if you think about how most game developers use mythical deities or legends, etc in games.
