== History ==
 
In Aegis, Skeletons were frequently used by the Undead in their fights against Aegeans. Necromancers were also known to raise skeletons. In Asulon and Anthos, the reasons for the continued existence of skeletons is under constant debate, as their origins are no longer clear.

Skeletons are the bones of the dead, reanimated to walk the earth once more. Some Skeletons have been dead for longer than others and are easier to destroy, but all Skeletons carry bows, either used in life or found in death. They are very good shots with their bows and seemingly endless supplies of arrows. Skeletons will very rarely be seen riding a spider -- the two monsters will coordinate their attacks. If seen this monstrosity should be attacked carefully.

When they sight a mortal being, a Skeleton will attack with their bow. Their fragile bodies are easily struck down with common weapons, like the axe or sword. When defeated their bones can often be picked up, or bonemeal if the Skeleton is very old. Some will have other items on them from their life, such as minas, feathers, flint, bows or armor. They may also raid settlements to gain items or loot them from the corpses of their victims.

Origin

In Aegis, Skeletons were frequently used by the Undead in their fights against Aegeans. Necromancers were also known to raise skeletons. In Asulon and Anthos, the reasons for the continued existence of skeletons is under constant debate, as their origins were no longer clear. They continue to be among the most common of undead creatures that roam the lands. In Anthos the Dark Lord of the North, Setherien, used Skeletons of a far more deadly variety. There have been many that tried to figure out how these creatures came to gain life once more.

Skeletons may be reanimations from necromancers on some rare cases, but most of them are simply corpses which seemed to gain life once more. While the information is unknown to the people of the realms, it is due to the magic of the monks, a side effect of their resuraction of descendants. A new body is created, and the dead one may gain undead life once more.

Characteristics

Skeletons are corpses of which the meat has all but rotten off. Their lighter weight makes them faster than zombies, but also weaker. Remaining bits of rotten flesh are sometimes found still in them, inside the eye socket, behind ribs and even inside their mouths. Sometimes they carry some old possesions of their former living selves. Some even still have armor and weapons, which held for longer than their own flesh.

Behavior

Skeletons move without purpose, but they are seemed to be drawn to attack descendants and evn try to eat some corpses. They respond to attacks from anything, even from their own kind, even if accidental. The only descendants that the skeletons might not attack are necromancers, but only when this one feeds them with lifeforce, and even controlling them.

Types (If applicable)

  • Necromatic Skeletons - Skeletons raised by necromancers, they follow the will of their maker.
  • Ordinary Skeletons - These are found everywhere in the wilds, normally near cemetaries and battlegrounds.
  • Withered Skeletons - Used by Setherien in Anthos, these were previous descendants corrupted by the Drakaar.


Weaknesses

Holy magic works very well against skeletons, and gold as well. They are quite an easy creature to defeat, a blow with any weapon, and even with a fist, being able to inflict great damage. There are only problems when they come in mass.

Mechanics

Skeletons are represented by the Minecraft mob of the same name.

Redlines

Skeletons have no mind of their own, and they lose all previous memories of life.
