The Skeletal horror is a monster which may be fought after completing the Rag and Bone Man wish list and Fur 'n Seek wish list miniquests. The horror may be killed once a week after completion of the miniquests, resetting every Wednesday at 00:00 UTC.
Once defeated, the Odd Old Man will thank the player and reward them for their efforts. The first time the creature is defeated, the player will be rewarded with 10,000 Slayer experience and 7,000 Prayer experience.
To fight the Skeletal Horror again the player must speak with the Odd Old Man and ask him to rebuild the creature; he will then rebuild the creature every week for the player to fight. Every subsequent fight after will reward the player with Slayer and Prayer experience based on the level of the respective skill.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- In the old diary, it is suggested that the Skeletal horror's skull was the model for the black mask.
- The Skeletal Horror is supposed to be an ancient beast yet most of its bones are from other creatures. Some, such as the skull, are presumably the original bones of the ancient beast that the Odd Old Man found.
- The Skeletal horror has one of the 'non-chafing manacles' that was on the Odd Old Man's wishlist after completing the Rag and Bone Man quest and the first wishlist. It appears that the Golden fleece is what makes it non-chafing.
- All the bones retrieved from Rag and Bone Man, Rag and Bone Man wishlist and the Fur 'n Seek wish list can be found on the Skeletal horror.
- The Skeletal Horror dropped elite clue scrolls 1/20th of the time after 4 August 2010. It was changed to 100% after 26 May 2015.
- During the cutscene before the fight, the Skeletal Horror's health bar is set to 3,250 life points.
- It is possible to kill the Skeletal Horror without burying all body parts.
- Instead of burying, Skeletal Horror's limbs can be disassembled with the Invention skill.
- If you manage to kill the Skeletal Horror before you bury the tail bone you get a message "The bone in your backpack crumbles to dust as the skeletal horror dies." and it disappears from your backpack.
- If a Distraction & Diversion reset token (weekly) is used to reset the skeletal horror, a different cutscene will play when the player enters the battle. In the first cutscene, the skeletal horror rips away the post it has been chained to, while in the alternate sequence, the skeletal horror emerges from the northeast corner.
