Skeletal Giant (BB)
Creature 3 — mindless, skeleton, undead, unholy
CrasherLANDundeadskeletonunholy
The reanimated bones of giants make excellent necromantic thralls, and the skeletal giants made out of bull-headed minotaurs are no exception. Mindless skeletons use similar tactics, so using a bigger, more durable skeleton is the only way a necromancer can obtain a more powerful thrall.
