Multiattack. The Chain Wight makes two longsword attacks or two longbow attacks. It can use its Life Drain in place of one longsword attack.
Life Drain. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) necrotic damage. The target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.
A humanoid slain by this attack rises 24 hours later as a zombie under the wight's control, unless the humanoid is restored to life or its body is destroyed. The wight can have no more than twelve zombies under its control at one time.

Description
Chain wights are created in large numbers by a powerful necromancer called a "link-forger." This link-forger brings a legion back from the dead to serve them and whatever creed they follow. If the legion's "link-forger" is killed, the intelligence score of each Chain Wight is brought to a 2 and they lose all motivations, going completely mad and devoid of purpose.
Chain wights are intelligent undead humanoids that resemble corpses. With lipless mouths and haunting, lidless eyes, they never tire in pursuit of their goal of bringing about the will of the one who has summoned and created their legion.
