Skeletons and Skeleton Warriors are level 1 creatures of Necropolis town. They are recruited from the Cursed Temple.

"While skeletons and skeleton warriors are average foot soldiers individually, it is possible to build massively populated troops of them. They are numerously produced, are the main creature produced by the Necromancy secondary skill, and other creature types can be converted into them at Necropolis skeleton transformers." ^{RoE manual}

Building the Unearthed Graves increases skeletons' growth by 6 per week.

However, if all slots are occupied and you only have Skeleton Warriors in your army, then Necromancy will raise only 2/3 of the numbers of regular skeletons as Skeleton Warriors.

Heroes with a specialty

• Galthran the Death Knight has skeletons as a specialty, which increases the Attack and Defense skills of any Skeletons or Skeleton Warriors for each level attained after 1st level and gives them a speed bonus of 1.
