Dem Bones: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Doom (series)|Doom]]'' and those [[Goddamned Bats|annoying flaming skulls]].

** And Revenants in ''Doom II''.

** Of course, that's not counting the part where Bowser gets [[Stripped to the Bone]] and reanimated as a Skeleton. ''[[Mario Kart]] Wii'' calls this "Dry Bowser".

** There's also Kingfin in Super Mario Galaxy, a skeletal shark ([[Art Major Biology|Yeah, we know]]) with [[Glowing Eyelights of Undeath]]. That apparently summons robotic piranha fish.

* ''[[Devil May Cry]]'' has floating skulls as enemies.

* ''[[The Curse of Monkey Island]]'' and ''[[Escape from Monkey Island]]'' had the fearsome Murray, the demonic animated skeleton with plans to conquer the world, who would have been significantly more fearsome if he wasn't just a skull and unable to move around by himself. Still, with lines like this, it's no wonder "Murray the Mighty Demonic Skull" is [[Ensemble Darkhorse|so popular]]:

* The skeletons in ''[[Dark Souls]]'' aren't that tough. However, nearby necromancers (which fortunately don't respawn if you rest at a bonfire) will revive them if they aren't slain with a Divine weapon. The ''giant'' skeletons are much tougher but fortunately don't revive immediately like their weaker cousins.

* The original ''[[Golden Axe]]'' has an army of skeleton swordsmen. The first one appears as the boss of the second stage and the rest are [[Elite Mook|elite mooks]]. ''Golden Axe II'' also had skeleton warriors, while ''Golden Axe III'' has the Dead Frames, which are the reanimated skeletons of reptilian humanoids.
