Besides appearing like a floating pretty lights, will-o'-wisps in high fantasy settings tend to be quite hostile phenomena, often employing spell-like abilities on anyone who happens to be unfortunate enough to go near 'em.
Sprites/pixies occasionally may be mistaken for will-o'-wisps from distance if they share the eerie glow, especially if the game doesn't depict them as anything more descriptive than a strange glowing thing.
Note that this is NOT for will-o'-wisps that are indistinguishable from fireflies or similar things.
