{{canon}}

Skeleton warriors are the [[skeleton|skeletal]] remains of high level [[fighter]]s and other elite [[:category:Professional Killer|professional killer]]s [[reanimated]] by powerful [[spellcaster]]s. A skeleton warrior is normally [[controlled]] by a special [[Skeleton Warrior Circlet]] worn by its creator. If the circlet is [[lost]], the skeleton warrior tracks its master and [[murder]]s him. Any character that dons the circlet can assume control of the corresponding skeleton warrior.<ref name="MM 2e p. 317">[[Monstrous Manual]] p. 317</ref>

Unlike their weaker kin, skeleton warriors retain their intelligence and mastery of [[weapon]]s. They are physically tougher and stronger and are nearly impervious to [[magic]].<ref name="MM 2e p. 317">[[Monstrous Manual]] p. 317</ref>
