The Wight (Japanese: ヘルボーン Hellbone), known as the (Japanese: リッチー Lichi) in Fire Emblem Gaiden, is a class of undead monsters that appears in Fire Emblem Gaiden and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. In Gaiden, the Lich class is a stronger version of the Skeleton class. Most units in this game have a default weapon that never runs out of uses, but the Lich class does not have a set weapon.[1] They are depicted attacking with a sword in their animation. In Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, there are two versions of the Wight class - one that uses swords and lances, and another that only uses bows.

Wights are an average class, since they are equivalent to a promoted class, but most monster classes tend to be quite weak. They have high HP, strength, and defense in Gaiden, but have very low other stats. In The Sacred Stones their stats are more balanced, although they remain at about the same level of difficulty. In both games, they can be defeated quickly with magic or just strong attacks.
