wight
Archaic for person
A wight is a living creature or person—an archaic term surviving mainly in literary contexts and the phrase luckless wight.
In fantasy fiction and games, wight has been repurposed for undead creatures, typically malevolent spirits or reanimated corpses: The adventurers encountered a barrow-wight in the ancient tomb.
