==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Skeleton squires are undead nobles riding on top of mad horses. They carry a silver lance and shield, wear an extravagant plumed hat on top of their powdered wig, and wear green cloaks with orange boots and bracers. Their steeds are brown with purple manes. Despite their similarities in appearance to [[grim rider]]s, they are distinct monsters with subtle differences.
Skeleton squires are spooky undead nobles riding atop of mad, manic hellish horses. They carry a silver lance that they use to stab at foes and a sparkly silver shield to match. They wear an overly extravagant plumed hat on top of their powdered wig to hide their boney bald heads and wear glorious green cloaks with bright orange boots and bracers. Their sturdy steeds are brown with preposterous purple manes and are capable of breathing out blasts of ice-cold air. Despite their similarities in appearance to [[Grim rider]]s, they are distinct and dangerous {{MFamilies}}s with subtle differences.

The {{Party 7}} fights a boss version of the Skeleton squire in [[Al-Balad]]. It speaks using bone-related puns and will attack the party while exploring the [[Temple Palace]]. [[Hadid]] will help out as a temporary {{Party 7}} member, but he often wastes his turn assessing the situation. The skeleton should cause no trouble for a moderately leveled {{Party 7}}.
