Wight Knight

The Wight Knight is an Emblem Heartless introduced in .

Design
The Wight Knight bears a strong resemblance to the mummy character from . Its grayish-blue skinned, almost skeletal figure is wrapped in patches of white gauze bandages; the head is completely covered in them, save for a gap that reveals a bright yellow eye in a shadowed face, and the Knight's "plume", a simple angular-spiraled antenna. Wight Knights also have a "ribcage" of six sharp barbs that surround their chest and Heartless emblem, large hands, and long barbed fingers and toes.

In Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Wight Knights have simple, straightforward recolors; gold replaces the white of the bandages, black is the new skin color, and the hands, fingers, and toes are re-tinted a reddish-brown.

The word "wight" means a ghost or a supernatural entity, referencing the Heartless's undead appearance. The term altogether is a play on "white knight", which is ironic considering its decrepit appearance.

Kingdom Hearts
Wight Knights are fast and fairly strong, making them difficult to hit. A carefully timed Guard will block a Wight Knight's attack, leaving it stunned and open for attacks.

If timed correctly, Sora can earn Tech Points for blocking the Wight Knight's attacks.

Kingdom Hearts II
Wight Knights normally wander around passively, occasionally using 2-Stage Claw and Spin Leap; however, when damaged they become temporarily aggressive and will use these attacks several times in a row. It is recommended to swiftly finish off a damaged Wight Knight before it can begin attacking with combos, however if this fails then act defensively with blocks or Reflect until it is open once more for attack.
