A wight was an undead creature given a semblance of life through sheer violence and hatred. They could drain the life energy out of victims by touch, turning them into new wights upon death. Wights appeared as weird and twisted reflections of the forms they had in life.[3]
Variants
- Slaughter wight
- These were wights that have been specially touched by the dark gods, giving them a vicious hate for all life that far outclasses the normal undead's.<ref>Andy Collins, Bruce R. Cordell (October 2004). Libris Mortis: The Book of Undead. (Wizards of the Coast), pp. 121–122. ISBN 0-7869-3433-6.
