Skeletron Prime is a massive, incomplete skeleton created out of thick slabs of silver-shining hallowed metal and brought to life using a combination of mechanical engineering and arcane enchantments. Physically, it resembles the creature known as Skeletron and consists of a metal skull with glowing red eyes, trailed by two pairs of floating skeletal arms; in lieu of hands, these limbs have been replaced with advanced mechanical weapons: a powerful gripping claw, a meters-long chainsaw, a bomb-launching cannon, and a rapid-fire energy blaster. Its construction was commissioned by a cult who had hoped to use it as a skeletal basis for reviving the long-dead and dismembered lunar god they worship, alongside the Destroyer and the Twins. Although it broke loose of their control before they could complete their plans, Skeletron Prime still only awakens at night, driven perhaps by an echo of the soul it was meant to contain. It is said that when Skeletron Prime draws near, the air will mysteriously get colder. Constructed Nature. Skeletron Prime doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep. |
