Special
Water Jet
Once per hour, a lake skeleton may do an extra attack by projecting a jet of water from its mouth. The stream shoots out in a straight line 15 feet in length and 5 feet in width. Anyone within range must save vs. Dragon Breath or take 2d6 points of damage.
Special
Resistance to Physical Damage
Take only half damage from edged weapons, and only a single point from arrows, bolts, or sling stones (plus any magical bonus).
Special
Undead
Can be Turned by Clerics as zombies, and are immune to sleep, charm, or hold magic.
Special
Mindless
No form of mind reading is of any use against them. Lake skeletons never fail morale, and thus always fight until destroyed.

Dangerous undead formed from drowned corpses, with bloated lung remains
Lake Skeletons are dangerous undead roaming their place of death. A lake skeleton resembles a normal skeleton but has the bloated remains of their lungs. A being must first drown within the lake, and over time its body is transformed into the creature that will stalk the banks of the lake they died in. Dying by other means or on other places will not result in the transformation.
