Skeleton



Skeletons are a basic enemy seen in many games from the Castlevania series.

Overview
Skeletons make up the greater part of the dark lord's army. Risen from their graves, they now serve under the dark rule of Dracula. The basic skeletons serve do one of two things: (1) They march back and forth, clogging up platforms, or (2) they jump high, sometimes in erratic patterns, and throw bones, loopingly. They're usually easy to kill, however, despite their abilities.

Types
There are many different types of skeleton through out the Castlevania series. There are skeletons that carry no weapons and just use their own bones to attack, skeletons carrying a wide range of weaponry, skeletons of various animals, skeletons wielding magic powers, skeletons so widely different from the others that they go in their own catagory, and the most peculiar: skeletons holding different occupations.
