Skeleton

Skeletons (スケルトン Sukeruton) are a basic enemy seen in many games from the Castlevania series of games.

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 may do one of two things:

They march back and forth, clogging up platforms.
They jump high, sometimes in erratic patterns, and throw bones.

They're usually easy to kill, however, despite their abilities. The bones they throw are presumably from their own rib cages. They are also known to throw their own head in some games. In Lament of Innocence, the basic skeletons are armed with a bone that they use for clubbing. In Curse of Darkness, they are armed with a light club.

Types

There are many different types of skeletons throughout 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 category, and the most peculiar: skeletons holding different occupations.

Game Specific Information

Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (LCD Watch)

They appear behind you in level one and two. They take one hit to destroy and are worth 5 points.

Skeletons with shields also appear in this game.

Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (LCD Handheld)

Only appear at night and they appear behind you. They toss bones at you in an arcing pattern. They take 4 hits and are worth 20 points. In later stages they are equipped with a shield.

Castlevania: The Arcade

Regular Skeletons armed with only their own bones are first found in the dungeons of the Underground stage.

Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth

There are two types of regular Skeletons: White Skeletons, who walk back and forth, and Blue Skeletons, which have the same behavior but also toss bones.

Castlevania: Harmony of Despair

The Skeleton is a minor enemy, and acts normally.

The Skeleton is also a playable character in multiplayer only. It has a halo over its head. Unlike the 5 playable characters, it cannot be selected (and there are no alternate palettes for it). It can only be played by someone when they die, and it is weak. The Skeleton has infinite lives, but every time it is killed, 3 minutes are lost from the timer. The Skeleton also does get the bonuses from the gold boss chest when the boss is defeated. The player can be restored by someone else with a Water of Life.

Captain N: The Game Master

A Skeleton appeared in the episode "The Most Dangerous Game Master" where Simon open a door then it pop out and try to attack him but Simon closed the door. A Skeleton also appeared in "Mr. & Mrs. Mother Brain" where it was called Mr. Bone where it was shooting fireball at Kevin but miss then Kevin tells Duke to get the Bone then Duke bite it leg which made it disappear.
