Called Ghost Dancer in Symphony of the Night. A mid-level skeleton that appears in Death Wing's Lair. It walks around the stage normally and starts following the player until it comes within close proximity, then it will start performing its leaping attack. It will continue leaping unless the player moves out of range.

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia

Skeleton Friskies start appearing in the Skeleton Cave and their only attack consists in leaping over Shanoa and landing on the other side. This attack can be avoided altogether simply by crouching.

Of note is one room in particular near the end of the left wing of the Skeleton Cave that is inhabited by 17 Skeleton Friskies. Since, being skeletons, they are naturally weak to Strike, hitting each one a couple of times with a Macir glyph (the player will most likely already possess Vol Macir by that point) will most likely destroy most of the group (summoning Zombies or a Skull Spider will also greatly help in quickly destroying the group; additionally, equipping both the Strength Ring and the Empress Ring while farming these enemies is advisable). This is very useful in case the player wants to level up a few Levels fast (suggested around Level 23+).

They are later encountered in the Giant's Dwelling, although in lesser numbers.
