White Walkers from GameOfThrones, what they would be in Dungeons&Dragons ?

[drathdragon]

Last week i had a discussion with a friend of mine about the nice episode 08X05 of GameOfThrones thinking on the white walkers,

I wonder : what they would be in D&D ?

a race rather than a class ? or what else ?

Watching the tv show it seems to me they act like palemasters, summoning undeads etc...
but they have also that wierd ''blue'' energy and most of them combat with weapons... maybe a warlock class with ''some special'' eldritch enhancements maybe ?

what do you think about it ?

Are they not literally wights?

nvm .. those are the minions.

given their apparent immortality and immunity to cold, I would say the are closest to liches. However, I don't know if they are actually undead themselves. They appear to be a primordial race.

A cold-based subspecies of Juju Zombie, perhaps.

hmmm.. Juju zombie aren't they created by someone ?

To create a juju zombie requires a create undead cast by a powerful spellcaster or the touch of the blightspawned.

white walkers seems to be independent, self powerful ..not created by someone ..at least, it seems so to me.
