The Corrupted Gold Knight is a hostile humanoid in a gold knight's armor, corrupted by the influences of The Nightmare. They are often seen on The Road and the End of the Road, although they can be found in other places discovered earlier on in a player's adventure, such as The Grand Hall and The Theatre.
