noun
1. A winged figure from Greek art (especially phases). This creature is usually part human, like a harpie.
In LARPing,* a good BBEG** would be an eidolon that keeps showing up.
2. A ghostly reflection or apparition.
On Friday the thirteenth, eidolons appear in shop windows as you pass. Don't stay out too late or the eidolons will get you!
Synonyms: apparition, banshee, boogie, demon, devil, ethereal being, harpie, haunt, kelpie, phantom, poltergeist, shade, shadow, spectre, spook, vision, wraith.
* LARP stands for Live Action Role Play.
** BBEG stands for Big Bad Evil Guy. My extensive research (about five minutes or so) points to the fact that eidolons are definitely big bad evil guys.
