__NOTOC__
<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>Once beautiful beyond comprehension, the moor wight before you is now as disgusting as it was once charming. The wight has a slender, decaying body hidden by tattered and fading robes. Plainly written across the moor wight's face is an expression of eternal anguish and pain, silently speaking of the horrific events which unfolded during its life to bring it to this sad state.</pre>

==Other information==
===Summoning Powers===
Similar to their [[lesser moor wight|lesser brethren]], [[greater moor wight]]s have even more potent abilities to conjure into existence other undead beings.

In areas with muddy wetland terrain, these wights are capable of summoning [[greater fetid corpse]]s out of the mire:
<pre{{log2|margin-right=350px}}>A greater moor wight raises one decaying arm in a series of mystical gestures, chanting an almost inaudible stream of prayers.
A greater fetid corpse emerges from the stinking mire, moaning evilly!
</pre>
If the terrain is too hard and dry to allow this trick, they may instead call upon their less threatening ally, the [[luminous spectre]]:
<pre{{log2|margin-right=350px}}>A greater moor wight raises one decaying arm in a series of mystical gestures, chanting an almost inaudible stream of prayers.
A cold mist seeps up out of the ground, slowly dissipating to reveal a luminous spectre.</pre>

===Cold Snap [[Area of effect|AOE]] Multi-targeted===

<pre{{log2|margin-right=350px}}>A greater moor wight points a clawed finger at you!
An airy mist rolls into the area, carrying a harsh chill with it.
CS: +203 - TD: +499 + CvA: +12 + d100: +44 - -5 == -235
Warded off!
The mist leaves a thin layer of ice on your lower half, but you easily shake it off.
CS: +203 - TD: +137 + CvA: +25 + d100: +90 == +181
Warding failed!
The mist leaves a barghest's lower half encased in a thick block of ice.

===Interaction with corpses===
A [[greater moor wight]] is not going to help rescue you when dead. In fact, it will further mangle your body:
<pre{{log2|margin-right=350px}}>A greater moor wight rakes ribbons of flesh from your face.</pre>

And move your corpse about wherever it pleases:

<pre{{log2|margin-right=350px}}>A greater moor wight heads out, dragging your battered body behind it!</pre>
