The will-o-wisp can't pick up or move objects or creatures. It can move through creatures and objects. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.

The will-o-wisp knows the location of coins, gems, and other nonmagical wealth within 500 feet.

Undead Nature.

A will-o-wisp doesnt require air, sustenance, or sleep.

Bonus Actions

Illumination.
