A wight tyrant is a leader of undead, able to amass a small army through the death of its foes. They are relentless and often work for vampires and other powerful undead creatures. They despise life and all it stands for waiting to end those that are within its clutches. As their title suggests, they are a tyrant; they rule with fear and deception. Letting those who know of their power feel it on the end of their blade. It seeks only powerful humanoids to be part of its fighting force as their blade dispose of all those unworthy of the blessing that is undeath. Much like the rest of the undead of the world, they do not require food, water or sleep. Fear and dismay for all those who come in contact with this relentless undead abomination. |
