Characteristics

Viking souls are red skeletons distinguished from the average skeleton by the broadswords they wield and the horned Viking-styled helmets they wear on their skulls. They wear dark indigo tunics with gold lining and a metal gorget around their clavicles, brown trousers, grey gloves and boots, and a metallic belt around their waists with a purple gemstone as a buckle. According to their monster description in X, the Viking souls are revenants of ferocious pirates known for pillaging and plundering. Due to their misdeeds, they were despised by the god of the sea and forbidden to enter the sea again, continuing their rampage only on land. In battle, they can strengthen their allies with Oomph and can land deadly curses with their swords.
