No need to ask, these misty apparitions are actually the souls swallowed by this fog, but it is unknown whether their current behavior of rushing towards other monsters is spontaneous or forcibly driven by the fog.
No one can answer this question, perhaps it's both.
As the number of souls swallowed by the fog increased, their aggressiveness became stronger and their surge speed faster.
Now the situation has completely changed; it is no longer the defeated monsters charging towards the Far Sea Marsh fog, but the latter sweeping over, rushing towards the entire horde of defeated monsters.
