A skull is a construction material that can be found in the Wilderness.

Skulls are primarily used in the Construction skill, and can be used to create skeleton thrones, skull torches, and hanging skeletons.

Skulls are additionally used in two quests:

• In Mourning's End Part II, Thorgel's item list includes a skull.
• A skull and five bones are used to awaken the spirit discs in the Spirit of Summer quest.

Trivia

• The Wise Old Man will say to get rid of any skulls the player may have, for hygiene purposes.
• There is a skull lying on the ground on the Spirit Realm farm. When the player tries to pick it up without having activated the discs, they receive a message stating that they pick up the skull, but then realise it is still lying there.
• Until 17 October, 2005, these items were useless. However, they were used in scams to try tricking people into thinking they were rares and then paying a lot of money for them.
