# [Deathlock Wight](Rules\Source\bestiary\undead/deathlock-wight-mpmm.md) *Source: Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse p. 87* Deprived of much of its magic as a special punishment, a deathlock wight lingers between the warlock it was and the wretched existence of a wight. ## Deathlocks The forging of a pact between a warlock and a patron is no minor occasion—at least not for the warlock. The consequences of breaking that pact can be dire and, in some cases, lethal. A warlock who fails to live up to a bargain with an evil patron runs the risk of rising from the dead as a deathlock, a foul Undead driven to serve its otherworldly patron. An powerful necromancer might also discover the wicked methods of creating a deathlock and then subjugate it, acting as the deathlock's patron. ```statblock "name": "Deathlock Wight (MPMM)" "size": "Medium" "type": "undead" "subtype": "warlock" "alignment": "Typically Neutral Evil" "ac": !!int "12" "hp": !!int "37" "hit_dice": "5d8 + 15" "modifier": !!int "2" "stats": - !!int "11" - !!int "14" - !!int "16" - !!int "12" - !!int "14" - !!int "16" "speed": "30 ft."
