Line 201:

==={{DQDai}}===

In the 2020 anime series, a fright knight can be seen amongst [[Hadlar]]'s Dark Army at the end of episode 5.

==Etymology==

The fright knight's original name Niterich and name in Japanese, ナイトリッチ, is intended to be "knight/night lich". [[Wikipedia:Lich|Lich]] is an English word dating back to the 9th century which simply referred to a corpse or dead body. In modern works of fiction, a lich has come to refer to a specific undead creature, a former wizard that seeks to defy death through necromancy. Unlike ordinary zombies, a lich retains some degree of its intelligence and spellcasting abilities. This usage originates from the 1976 [[Wikipedia:Dungeons & Dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]] role-playing game booklet ''Greyhawk'', which contained a description of the lich.
