Skeletons are magical undead creatures formed from the remains of long-dead humanoids. Usually found near graveyards, dungeons and other deserted places, they are often used as guards by other undead creatures higher up the ladder of undead world. Skeletons are rarely seen moving alone, for it is a rarity for a skeleton to live so long as to learn to master skills in order to survive. Skeletons do not breathe and thus cannot drown.

Skeletons may have an origin, if they were alive in their previous life. If created from nothingness by magical means, a skeleton doesn't have an origin to relate to. Their origin will affect their properties, but ultimately their properties are in strict relation to their origins; for example, an origin with less than average wisdom will become less and less wise, often with devastating effects.
