Wights
Wights are supernatural beings found in various mythologies and fantasy literature. They are often depicted as undead creatures, resembling humans but lacking a soul. Wights can be associated with graveyards or ancient burial sites, and they may serve as guardians of these locations. In some stories, they are known to rise from the dead to protect their resting places or to seek revenge.
In popular culture, wights are prominently featured in George R.R. Martin's series, A Song of Ice and Fire, and its television adaptation, Game of Thrones. In these narratives, wights are reanimated corpses controlled by the White Walkers, serving as a formidable threat to the living. Their portrayal emphasizes themes of death, resurrection, and the struggle between life and the undead.
