Nether skulls are created through a dark ritual which requires the extensive torture of the victim. The skull is eventually removed from the body with the tortured soul remaining trapped inside. At this point, necromancers will often store these skulls in the Nether Realm, where they continue to suffer until called upon by name to the mortal realms to serve their dark masters. Undead Nature. A nether skull does not require air, food, drink, or sleep. |
