Haljas are ghostly specters who act as the messengers of death in Erion. They all hail from the dreaded underworld kingdom of Endelphia where they are ruled by the malicious Queen Odette. They appear as sub-bosses in Endelphia, and also two appear as the Boss of the Valentine area during Oswald's story.

[edit] Translation

In Japanese, they are addressed and referred to as 'shinigami', a term used to mean 'death gods', which is very fitting for their role.
