Skeleton
Skeleton guards are the most common skeletal minions and are mere guardians. They are typically mindless undead beings that were animated through basic necromantic magic from the bones of any creature with a skeletal structure.
Appearance
Skeletons have the skeletal form of whatever creature they were animated from and are not limited to humanoids. They retain features like horns, wings, and tails if they were present and skeletal in nature in life. Many skeletons are mindless automatons, while others possess enough of their lost intelligence to wield weapons and wear armor, and a rare few retain enough of their former consciousness to exercise sentient free will.Habitat and Ecology
Skeletons are among the most common types of undead and often dwell in old dungeons, deserted graveyards, and ancient battlefields. Despite their lack of muscles skeletons still move with ease, being animated by necromantic negative energy that both grants them false life and makes many of them evil.
