Dark skeleton: Difference between revisions

}}

The '''Dark skeleton''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in the original [[Dragon Quest|game]]. It is a pitch-black variant of the regular [[Skeleton]]. Much like [[Shade]]s and [[Silhouette]]s, they are animated shadows that attack adventurers; the difference being that the dark skeleton has retained the solid mass of its physical self.

Like all {{MFamilies}}s originating from the [[World of Darkness]], Dark skeletons with enhanced attributes begin appearing in the [[World of Light]] after the fall of [[Black Citadel]].
