==Etymology==
==Etymology==
In its original usage in Middle English, a [[Wikipedia:wight|wight]] refers to a living creature, especially a human being. But in works of fiction, it has come to refer to a supernatural being, often wraith-like or undead. Wights are featured in J.R.R. Tolkien's world of Middle-earth. In 1974, the roleplaying game ''[[Wikipedia:Dungeons & Dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]]'' featured wights as undead monsters that are animated through violence and hatred, being modeled directly after the barrow-wights of ''[[Wikipedia:The Lord of the Rings|The Lord of the Rings]]''.
