Wow! Great question because it's made us realize that the NPC page was never updated to include these. We're still catching stuff like that periodically and I'll be sure to edit it after this.
Green-eyed spirits are a type of forest spirit that, in previous Beacon eras, were supposedly rarely encountered. It's now known that there are several around, usually in more remote areas, and that they are a cause of great concern. Although some seem able to be reasoned with, communication often quickly breaks down as their primary method of conversation is through violence. The other spirits often obey them out of fear. In the past they have done things like lead a semi-coordinated siege against the entire town when their attempts to put everyone to sleep and give them hallucinatory dreams were resisted by several who instead stayed awake - apparently this was offensive to them and so tons of people died. More recently, they kidnapped around half the town and held them hostage in the old hospital, where they tortured characters and force-fed them some pretty awful mystery-meat that led to intense feverish illness.
They're known to trigger vivid hallucinations, have a way of getting into characters' minds and making them see, hear, and even think things that aren't real. Their motives aren't clearly understood as communicating with them has proven to be so difficult, and most characters in town who have come across one know to take them very seriously or risk the consequences.
