Description

A wight is given a semblance of life through sheer violence and hatred. A wight can drain the life energy out of victims by touch, turning them into new wights upon death.

A wight appears as a weird and twisted reflection of the form it had in life. Wights are always lawful evil.

Variant wights

  • Vilewight – Has exposed innards which flail out like serpents, each ending in a bile-dripping mouth. Vilewights are always neutral evil.{{cn|date=September 2018}}
