Skeleton Warrior



Animated Skeleton Warriors are the rank-and-file soldiers of Nemesis's army of undead.

Equipped with swords and shields they show up first in Catacomb Abyss and then later in Catacomb Armageddon.

In Catacomb Abyss
The Skeleton Warrior is the toughest enemy of the early game, boasting 10 hit points and having decent damage output. It often appears in sizable packs, and backed up by other monsters (Wraiths and Zombies in particular). Curiously, Skeletons are not all that aggressive, often taking their time to approach or wandering off if it can't work out a way to the player, but it can be particularly dangerous in groups due to their sheer bulk. Big groups of Skeletons, such as the ones in The Crypt of Nemesis the Undead, may justify using a Zapper or two to thin out their ranks.

Skeleton Warriors only show up on the Crystal Sphere if they have the Yellow Jewel.

When destroyed, they collapse in a pile of bones and equipment.

In Catacomb Armageddon
Skeleton Warriors return, with a nifty redesign, clearly animated much more recently.

In Catacomb Apocalypse
Skeleton Warriors aren't in this game, but their futuristic counterpart is.
