Awakened Skeleton[]
Skeletons are animated bones of the dead, mindless automatons that obey the orders of their evil masters. However, sometimes a necromancer or other caster (via Awaken Undead spell), or perhaps through a freak magic or divine will, will imbue a skeleton with intelligence. It may also restore fragments of memories or knowledge from the skeleton's past life. A skeleton is seldom garbed in anything more than the rotting remnants of any clothing or armor it was wearing when slain.
