Wight (Dungeons & Dragons)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the wight is an undead creature. 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 is always lawful evil. A wight appears as a weird and twisted reflection of the form it had in life.

[edit] Variant Wights

• Dust Wights - Undead formed by a conjunction of elemental earth and negative energy. They destroy all creations of stone and metal.

• Vilewight - Has exposed innards which flail out like serpents, each ending in a bile-dripping mouth.
