== Background ==
* Skeletons are a monster in the Innverse that are of the [[Undead]] variety. They are similar to Zombies with no flesh or muscle. Skeletons appear as a animated bone structure of whatever creature they were in life, be it Humans, Drakes, or Gardua. In places where large numbers the dead aren’t properly buried or cremated, for example right after a war, a natural process occurs where the magic in the air only has to fluctuate a bit to cause the dead to be reanimated as undead, one type of these being skeletons.<ref>{{VERef|3.17 T}}</ref> The undead can naturally sense the living, and instinctively seek to kill.

== Weaknesses ==
Aside from the typical weaknesses of undead such as life magic and [[Miracles]], they are defeated by the destruction of their bodies, but in some cases that is not enough. More powerful versions require their skulls to be smashed or destroyed, as they could re-animate themselves. They are also worse at retaining magic than flesh-based undead.

More powerful versions require their skulls to be smashed or destroyed, as they could re-animate themselves. Also Life based magic is especially powerful against Skeletons making [Druids] well equipped to combat them<ref>{{VERef|9.60}}</ref>. Healing [[Miracles]] not only harm undead, but also cause them pain,<ref>{{VERef|9.66}}</ref> and faith abilities are natural weapons against them.<ref>{{VERef|10.10 E (Pt. 1)}}</ref> There are many specialized variations of Skeletons to be wary of, such as:
