Template:Enemy The Wight Knight (ワイトナイト Waito Naito?) is an Emblem Heartless that is found in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, and Kingdom Hearts II.

Design

The Wight Knight bears a strong resemblance the mummy character from The Nightmare Before Christmas. 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" has several meanings; as a noun, it can mean a ghost or a supernatural entity, referencing the Heartless's undead appearance. As an adjective, it can mean brave, valorous or strong, referencing the Heartless's quick, powerful attacks. The term altogether is a play on "white knight", which is ironic considering its decrepid appearance.

Attacks

  • Spin Attack: Horizontal arm-spin attack
  • 2-Stage Claw: Long jump, then up-then-down claw swipes
  • Spinning Leap: Low jump and vertical spin
