Skeleton Characteristics

Skeletons, like the name would suggest, are animated skeletons of deceased humanoids, almost always brought back to life for some nefarious purpose. They appear in many variations, sizes and shapes, usually depending on what they had been in life, but sometimes even further altered by horrid magics. The practice of animating a corpse into a skeleton strips the body of all flesh and organs, leaving behind a hollow shell. That shell is then awakened with an active intelligence and personality, that sometimes vaguely remembers its past life and reflects its former mannerisms.
