**Description:** The Gluttonous Wight is a grotesque figure, its body a patchwork of decayed flesh and bone, eternally driven by an insatiable hunger for the living. Once a gluttonous individual in life, it now roams graveyards and battlefields, seeking to consume the essence of the fallen. Tactically, it prefers to ambush weakened foes, using its aura to instill fear and weaken their resolve before moving in for the kill. Its demeanor is ravenous and relentless, embodying the very essence of gluttony in its undead form.
