**Description:** The Glacier Wight is a spectral being born from the soul of a once-living creature consumed by the bitter cold of a relentless winter storm. Cloaked in tattered, frost-covered rags, its presence chills the air, accumulating small frost particles that dance around it. Preferring hit-and-run tactics, it will use its ability to climb icy surfaces to gain advantageous positions, ambushing unwary travelers and travelers caught in snowstorms. Glacier Wights are drawn to desperation and despair, feeding off the fear and trepidation of their prey, and often appear when blizzards ravage the land. Their demeanor is unnerving and silent, striking with a viciousness meant to instill terror in the hearts of anyone who dares to challenge winter’s fury.
