Skeletons are undead monsters found in various locations around RuneScape. They are also vulnerable to Earth Spells. The skeleton class is very weak against crush attacks, and the Skeleton is no different. A Salve amulet or Salve amulet (e) provide a Strength and accuracy boost of +15% and +20% respectively against Skeletons. Many skeletons are aligned with the god Zamorak, but others have absolutely nothing to do with him.

VarietiesEdit

Varieties that are named simply "skeleton" include:

• Skeleton (Ape Atoll), skeleton apes found in Ape Atoll Dungeon.
• Skeleton (Chaos Tunnels), found in the Chaos Tunnels.
• Skeleton (Daemonheim), found in Daemonheim.
• Skeleton (Lumbridge Catacombs), found in the Lumbridge Catacombs.
• Skeleton (POH) - may be purchased at level 70 Construction, to guard a players dungeon.

Other specially named skeletons, such as Skeleton hero, and Skeletal warrior, are listed in the disambiguation page.

Giant skeletons have relatively high combat levels and drop big bones. There are three varieties: Giant skeleton (Shadow Dungeon), Giant skeleton (Lair of Tarn Razorlor), and Giant skeleton (Daemonheim). Within the Karamja Volcano, just outside Elvarg's lair, there are level 45 normal skeletons which appear to be the same size as giant skeletons.

The skeletons found throughout the Wilderness are aggressive to all players, regardless of level, like most monsters found there. These skeletons are known to have a higher rate of dropping some of the less common herbs, making them a good way to make some decent money.

Special appearances Edit

While doing the free-to-play quest The Restless Ghost, a level 13 Skeleton warlock will appear when the player picks up the muddy skull. It has 180 life points and a max hit of 20. Skeletons also appear across a great number of Members quests such as Smoking Kills and Missing my Mummy. There is also a mysterious skeleton which is said to have been spotted around RuneScape leading up to the 2008 Hallowe'en event.

Slayer alternatives Edit

Main article: Slayer assignment

Any monsters named "skeleton", with the exception of guard skeletons in a player-owned house and the Skeletons found in Daemonheim 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.

Habitats Edit

There is a very high number of skeletons in the game compared most other monsters. They are found all over RuneScape, in relation to almost any area. Some such locations are:

• Near the Lumbridge Swamp south-east mine (Only During Restless Ghost). - Level 13
• In several areas of Edgeville Dungeon - Level 21, 22, 25, 45
• Skeleton (Lumbridge Catacombs) are found in the Lumbridge catacombs.
• In Digsite Dungeon (both before and after it is restored) - Level 22
• In Draynor Sewers - Level 25
• In the Karamja Volcano - Level 22, 25, 45
• In the Ogre Enclave - Level 22
• In the Steel Mine - Level 25
• In several rooms in the Fourth level of the Stronghold of Security - Level 60, 68, 85
• In Taverley Dungeon - Level 46
• In the Temple of Ikov - Level 45
• In several parts of the Varrock Sewers - Level 21, 25
• In the Waterfall Dungeon - Level 45
• Scattered across the Wilderness (levels 1-6) - Level 22
• In the Low-level Wilderness Dungeon - Level 45
• In the Wilderness Agility Course - Level 25
• In a large number of rooms in the Lair of Tarn Razorlor - Level 42, 59, 63, 72, 77, 81, 87, 100
• Randomly in the Barrows - Level 77
• In several rooms in the Chaos Tunnels - Level 77
• Scattered around the Ruins of Ullek, east of the Agility Pyramid - Level 94-140
• In part of Melzar's Maze - Level 22
• Scattered around the Wilderness Volcano crater - Level 85
• In Zooknocks cave on Ape Atoll - Level 142. (aggressive to all players who are not wielding a greegree.)
• In a small room in the Senntisten Temple after it is restored (location of the Altar of Zaros) - Level 22
• In several areas of the Underground Pass (dungeon) - Level 22, 26

Location by combat level Edit

This table may be incomplete, as skeletons appear in a great many places. Also, a number of the locations have limited access such as being in members only areas, requiring quests to enter, requiring the ability to enter a guild, etc. Consider checking the location's description before going there to hunt skeletons.

Banking tips Edit

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. The tunnels are a multiway combat area, and 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.

Champions' Challenge Edit

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

Drops Edit

Note: Items marked "(m)" are members-only.

Trivia Edit

• As of 9 November 2009, various skeletons' combat animations and sounds have been reworked.
• The level 45 skeletons in the Crandor and Karamja Dungeon seem taller 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.
• The examine text for the level 100 Giant Skeleton asks the question whether this creature is a giant skeleton or a skeleton of a giant, suggesting this undead creature may originate from human or giant remains.
• The observed size of giant skeletons suggests that they are merely oversized skeletons as they are, in fact, smaller than any known giant.
• In the Hallowe'en 2011 event the player has to choose a skeleton to represent Pestilence in statue form.
