[Not much to say here. It’s a wight ++.]
Slaughter Wight
This eerie humanoid creature moves with fluid grace. Its lengthy arms
and legs seem out of proportion to its frame, and its face is contorted
into a grimace of rage.
Slaughter wights are foul creatures that have been created by the gods
of death for only one purpose—slay all in their path. Slaughter wights
are a blight on existence, leaving depopulated villages in their wake
and gathering an ever-growing army of life-draining monsters to their
sides. Due to their ability to channel negative energy, they are viewed
as powerful allies or thralls by evil clerics, and nightshades often
employ them as aides-de-camp in their campaigns against civilization.
The most misanthropic and powerful of Hinnva’s followers do not stop their depredations of the living at death. They raise as slaughter wights, marked by their flesh being conspicuously charred and their negative energy appearing as black flames. They are thankfully rare, but even a single one can begin an unprecedented tide of destruction.
