Skeletons

skeletons

Sentient, talking skeletons are extremely rare. In the uncommon event that anyone does encounter a skeleton, they are almost invariably mindless, tireless, minions of evil. However, skeletons that still retain their soul are like any other folk (minus the coat of skin and twist of guts). They may not remember their former life, but they pursue wants and dreams with fervor. Unfortunately, peasants and the like tend to find any sort of skeleton spooky.
