The '''[[Skeleton swordsman]]'''  is a monster in the series.

Skeleton swordsmen are six-armed [[Undead family|skeletons]] that wield curved swords in each of their hands, having attached the extra arms from their fallen enemies to themselves. They wear purple armour, spiked skullcaps, boots, and gloves on each of their hands. In battle, they are able to cast Kasap to make their opponents more vulnerable before unleashing a flurry of slashing attacks.
