A '''skeleton''' is one of the items that can be produced by butchering a [[corpse]]. While any corpse will produce chunks, only monsters with a skeletal structure can produce skeletons, and not every corpse will produce a usable skeleton when butchered. Skeletons may also be produced when corpses rot away, which will occasionally leave the skeleton behind; skeletons themselves will rot away some time afterward.

A decaying skeleton.

A skeleton is a decayed corpse. Like corpses, skeletons cannot be picked up. Skeletons are produced when corpses rot away over time, and the skeleton itself will rot away some time afterward. Note that some creatures, such as arthropods, do not have a proper skeletal system to raise.

Skeletons serve no gameplay purpose. Followers of Beogh can still revive orc skeletons, however.
