Skeleton

Skeletons are undead animated corpses similar to zombies, but are completely devoid of flesh and do not feed on the living. Animated skeletons are not coerced by mind affecting spells; they cannot be rendered unconscious and cannot tire. Clerics often have the ability to repel or destroy undead creatures, of which animated skeletons are usually the weakest such adversaries.

Edged and piercing weapons, such as swords and arrows, are mostly ineffective against skeletons; only blunt weapons, such as war hammers, are effective at knocking the bones apart.

The necromantic spell animate dead allows the caster to conjure the undead, most often skeletons or zombies.
