Skeleton Infantry

Creature 11 — mindless, skeleton, troop, undead, unholy

This troop of skeletons was once a cohort of highly disciplined spear-and-shield infantry from an ancient empire. Almost any creature that had bones in life and leaves them behind in death can become a shambling, undead skeleton-humanoids, beasts, aberrations, fey, and more.
