The Skeleton Minion is one of the most common but relentless undead warriors, cursed to wander the tunnels of Planet Eternity long after death. A reanimated husk of bone and malice, its glowing eyes burn with eerie spectral energy, betraying the unnatural force keeping it bound to this world. Though it lacks flesh and blood, the Skeleton Minion fights with unwavering determination, wielding a variety of melee weapons, including axes, swords, and hammers.

These undead soldiers vary in appearance—some are nothing more than bare bones, while others are adorned in scraps of armor, ranging from soft leather to full plate mail. The better-equipped minions are significantly more durable, capable of withstanding multiple blows before collapsing into a heap of bones. However, even an unarmored Skeleton Minion is a formidable opponent, as its lack of pain and fatigue allows it to fight with relentless aggression.

While a single Skeleton Minion may not be an overwhelming threat, they often attack in coordinated groups, overwhelming their targets with sheer numbers and relentless attacks. Those who underestimate them may find themselves outmatched, especially when faced with a fully armored minion capable of parrying incoming strikes.

Adventurers should remain vigilant—defeating a Skeleton Minion does not guarantee safety, as the dark forces of Planet Eternity have a habit of raising the fallen once more.

-The minion’s '''glowing eyes''' burn with an eerie, spectral light—possibly a sign of the dark energy keeping it bound to this world. Whether controlled by an unknown necromantic force or merely driven by a lingering hatred for the living, these creatures show no fear, no hesitation, and no mercy. While not particularly intelligent, they make up for it with relentless aggression, attacking any intruder who dares trespass in their domain.

-Some Skeleton Minions wear '''scraps of ancient armor''', remnants of whatever warrior they once were.
