Skeletons are a common undead monster found all over Gielinor. Like zombies, they are the result of a necromancer reanimating the bodies of the dead. As such, they are the commonly found in tombs, graveyards and dungeons.

According to Azzanadra, skeletons can also reanimate themselves should their burial site be desecrated, which is further supported when attempting to loot fallen barbarian corpses in the Ancient Cavern.

They are generally weak to magic, with most skeletons being especially vulnerable to earth or water spells. A salve amulet or salve amulet (e) will provide a damage and accuracy boost of +15% and +20% respectively against skeletons and other undead.

Slayer alternatives

Any monsters named "skeleton", with the exception of guard skeletons in a player-owned house and the Skeletons found in Daemonheim (also including the Unholy Cursebearer boss) and Sinkholes, may be killed to complete a slayer assignment. The following alternatives are also available:

• Skeleton mages
• Skeletal miners
• Skeletal hands
• Skeleton Fremenniks
• Skeleton warlords
• Skoblins

Banking tips

Many skeleton locations are far from banks. For players wishing to slay skeletons and bank their drops, consider the following:

• The Draynor Sewers are moderately close to the Draynor Village bank.
• The Lair of Tarn Razorlor has a banker. However, using this dungeon requires the Haunted Mine quest, The Lair of Tarn Razorlor miniquest, and a 100 coin payment to the banker for each access to the bank.
• The skeleton cave in the Chaos Tunnels is easily accessed from entrance #1 to tunnels and is thus moderately close to the Edgeville bank. However, care should be taken in that entrance #1 is in low-level Wilderness and also enters the cave with rather dangerous Gargoyles. Aggressive Zombies in the cave with the skeletons may interfere with skeleton hunting.
• Skeletal Hands may also be slain in the Meiyerditch Dungeon if the player looking for good drops from skeletons.

Champion's Challenge

Skeletons are one of the races who have lesser champions in the Champion's Challenge Distraction and Diversion. To fight the Skeleton Champion, the player must kill skeletons until one drops a Champion's scroll, a very rare drop. Obtaining the scroll usually takes several hours of dedicated skeleton hunting, therefore it is advised to kill lower level skeletons to increase the kill rate as much as possible.

Trivia

• The level 58 skeletons in the Crandor and Karamja Dungeon are bigger than the other skeletons.
• The skeletons in the Barrows did not drop the champion scroll for several years. This bug was eventually fixed.
• When in a player-owned-house oubliette or dungeon when building mode is on, they are called Bones.
• In the Hallowe'en 2011 event the player has to choose a skeleton to represent Pestilence in statue form.
