The Wight priest is a monster in the series.

Characteristics

Wight priests are zombified clerics that have been reanimated to continue to serve their evil masters. What remaining skin they have has turned into a sickly shade of green, their eyes glowing in their sunken skulls. They wear tattered robes and a mitre colored in different shades of blue and indigo with gold borders, leather boots, as well as a jeweled ring on their right hand and a gold bracelet on their left. The priests carry sceptres topped with cracked skulls that they use to channel their spells. They have mastered a variety of different magic, often having the ability to bring back other fallen monsters back from the hereafter and can summon undead minions to serve them.

In-game description

Always take these maleficient ministers out first, as they can raise their dead with Zing, and send foes back with Thwack.

Their robes may look manky, but they've been deliberately aged to give them the lived-in look that's so huge this season.
