Wight

Wight

Wights are an unusual species of undead used occasionally by the Scourge. They most closely resemble a zombie, but their bodies have grown to montrous sizes and are horridly deformed. It is unknown how this transformation occured. They are mostly employed in places of importance: Magistrate Barthilas protects the key to the city of Stratholme, while two other wights act as the bodyguards of the flesh titan Thaddius. In addition, The Ravenian is one of the six bosses that must be defeated to summon Darkmaster Gandling in The Scholomance.

With their flat heads, and bolts implanted in their neck, they have a very similar design to Frankenstein's Monster. However, they are frequently quite intelligent, and seem to retain the mind that they had in life.

It is only assumed that these creatures are called "wights" due to the fact that their model is called a wight. They have only appeared so far in the form of named bosses, two of which were called wights in an article about the Thaddius fight.

"As your group falls into disarray and scatters, caught unaware and slaughtered one by one by the two gruesome wights that descended from platforms higher up in the room, you wonder to yourself what kind of twisted nightmare spawned this monster."

As with the Voidwalker, Shade and the Fire Elemental, Wights have the same attack animations, run animation, model layout, etc. as that of a Bog Beast.
