A barrow wight is a mythical creature, very rarely found in the dungeons. It tends to be a fan of picking up items that the player drops before engaging them, making it an unexpected nuisance if you left a spare wand of death or polymorph in an unprotected stash. 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. It always carries a long sword and a knife. A barrow wight is best dealt with quickly, without undue alarm.
