Skeletons rising up out of the ground.
Skeletons are monsters that inhabit dungeons.
Types[]
There are twelve known types of skeletons: wizard, archer, sand warrior, frozen warrior, soldier, dead adventurer, swamp undead, undead mage, undead praetorian, assassin, ruin guard and sand archer. Skeletons encountered in later zones are tougher than those found earlier.[1]
Skeletons' appearances depend on what zone they are located in:
- Wizards wear a hat, lilac tunic and hold a spell-casting staff.
- Swamp undead have mushrooms growing on them and wield a large sword.
- Archers wear a hood and hold a bow and a quiver with arrows.
- Sand warriors have a yellowish color palette, indicating dryness.
- Frozen warriors have their light blue bones, blade, and armor partially frozen.
- Soldiers wear armor and wield a sword.
- Dead adventurers have ragged clothes and carry a sword.
- Undead praetorians wear armor and wield both an axe and a shield.
- Undead Mages have beards, may wear a crown or headscarf, and may carry a staff or spellbook.
Habitat[]
All skeletons inhabit dungeons underground and inside ruins above ground.[1]
Different skeletons can be found in different zones:
- Wizards, undead mages and archers inhabit the Emerald Grove.
- Swamp undead inhabit the swamps in the Emerald Grove.
- Sand warriors inhabit the Howling Sands.
- Frozen warriors inhabit Borea.
- Soldiers inhabit the Devasted Lands.
Drops[]
All skeletons drop a pile of bones upon death. Undead mages may drop purple spellbooks.
