A barrow wight is a mythical creature, very rarely found in the dungeons. A barrow wight may follow the player from level to level, if it is nearby when the player leaves, and can be a stronger threat than its figures may suggest. From long range, the barrow wight may throw projectiles and use spells to attack the player. If the player attempts to engage in melee combat he or she puts him or herself at risk of the barrow wight's level draining (but otherwise harmless) weapon attacks. A barrow wight is best dealt with quickly, without undue alarm.
