If a walking skeleton emerges from the darkness and your stomach tightens, you have met a skeleton. Its bones are held together by an unknown force and an evil will drives it forward.

Skeletons are among the most common undead, because there are always enough skeletons of the dead. They appear where great violence has taken place: on battlefields, in cursed forests, at places of frequent ambushes. Their mind is only an imprint of the soul that once inhabited the body, and so they are not very bright and are driven by base instincts. They need no food, but they can drain the remaining life force from the freshly dead, which strengthens them.

Combat

Skeletons fight with weapons and without them. They know neither fear nor emotions, and weapons do not harm them much. Their very gaze arouses terror: weaker opponents flee in panic or remain standing paralyzed while the skeleton drains their life.
