The Plague Wight—A New Undead Monster for D&D 5e
A new undead creature for your D&D 5e game.
This new CR8 undead creature makes a unique and formidable foe for your next D&D encounter.
Plague Wights are nightmarish abominations of the netherworld. Their bloated, decaying flesh is riddled with gaping wounds from which shrunken skulls of their enemies dangle. Grotesque, tentacle- like appendages emerge and writhe from their wrinkled hides.
This creaturte’s visage is a twisted, skull-like face with a permanent rictus scowl, its eyes burning with a sickly, unholy light. The Wight's body is clad in tattered, rotting cloth, and it wields a rusted, pitted sword that drips with a putrid ichor. Its very presence exudes an aura of disease and decay, corrupting everything around it.
A fearsome foe indeed! The dreaded Plague Wight.

P.S. I’m working on another new 5e monster called the Arachnoid Death Spider. There will be 2 versions: a high fantasy version for your D&D campaign, and a more gritty, post-apocalyptic style version for a more sci-fi campaign setting.
