Dread Knight

"Dread Knights now? What is this? Some kind of dreaded knight bastards that could try to kil me soon?"

--Su Ji-Hoon, A Growing Team

A dread knight is an upgrade to a black knight, the sixth-tier creature of the Necropolis faction in Heroes of Might and Magic III. It can be recruited from an upgraded hall of Darkness.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, they are elite undead knights serving the Undead Alliance because they can still use their horses and dread sword but in modern times, they will use modern weapons with an ability to control or drive any vehicle, but they will still use dread swords and their horses.
