Animated skeleton inhabited by a malicious spirit, more intelligent and quick than ordinary skeletons
When a malicious spirit inhabits an animated skeleton, it becomes a Haunted Bones, identical in appearance to an ordinary skeleton but more challenging due to quickness of mind and limb. Though they may wear the threadbare clothing of a former life, they maintain armor and weapons with military discipline, a habit also demonstrated by their coordinated attacks. Fleet of foot, haunted bones enjoy a +10' movement rate.
Occasionally, a squad of up to eight haunted bones will be encountered wandering the wilderness on a search and destroy mission.
