 A skeleton knight armed and ready, Source When a knight dies and becomes a skeleton, they usually take the form and title of a skeleton knight. This makes them more powerful and valuable than a common skeleton, but also harder to control and give orders to. Most skeleton knights seek freedom from their masters, and commonly ride the same mount as they did in life. Undead Nature. A skeleton knight doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep. |
