Dust wight

Dust wights were a type of undead creature that formed from conjunctions of elemental earth and negative energy.

Description
These resembled earth elementals, albeit the size of a human and with gaunt forms. They were always surrounded by a small cloud of dust and despite their appearance they weighed around.

Behavior
Dust wights sought to destroy all things constructed of metal or stone and were pleased whenever it was necessary to kill living creatures to accomplish this.

Abilities
Creatures or objects constructed of metal or store, such as shield guardians and stone golems, would be weakened when bashed by the fists of a dust wight. In addition, the dust clouds that surrounded them had a petrification effect.

Dust wights were equally affected by turn undead and spells that rebuked creatures of elemental earth.

History
In 1375 DR, a group of adventurers discovered some dust wights within an abandoned guardhouse inside the tomb of the Netherese scholar Augathra the Mad.

Languages
Dust wights only knew the Terran language.
