Betrayal
(slrpnk.net)
Betrayel always comes from within.
Your skeleton is bragging so much about its cool meatsuit they want to destroy it.
It's wet in you. They have to rescue your skeleton from drowning.
"Your bones are wet in you."
Unpleasant. Mmh. No, no thank you.
In DnD it's because most undead are damned and tortured souls enslaved by dark magic to the bidding of their twisted masters.
The skellingtons are looking at you, the real you, the core of your very existence with their soul eyeballs. And they hate you, because you are alive, and they aren't just dead, they're being tortured every moment of their existence.
But, hey, tell me more about your perfect medieval civilization built on raising zombie field hands.

You know how their jumble of bones pulls together when you get close? Their bones wanna do that with your bones, and the osteonetic attraction that pulls their bones together let's them know where your bones are, too.
Their bones are actually inert. Your bones just want to join their bones doing fuck all all day long. Their bones are doing your bones' bidding.
So all you would have to do to avoid this fate would be to pull out your own bones from your body, interesting...
And that's how you get slimes
"Whoopsie, ah... I mean... success?"
How do they not just collapse into a pile of bones?
One could argue, that joints are part of the skeleton.
Cartilage isn't.
But, as always, the real answer is "a wizard did it". Skeletons don't just hop up and animate themselves.
Skeletons don't just hop up and animate themselves.
Tell me you are from US without saying you are from US, lol
This wouldn't be nearly the first time I've said some stupid Americanism without realizing it, but mind telling me what it was at least?
Your skeletons don't seem to rise from the ground. Common American problem, don't need to feel bad about it.
Problem? I'd like to know what your raised skeletons are doing that makes them a positive on your community.
Stop being such a racist. They're part of the community like you and me.
Mine does, but I need an elaborate system of organic strings to make it work and an over powered processor.
Free me from this flesh, brother

The same way they're able to take human shape and move instead of sitting in a pile...
Shit, some of them talk
So the ultimate counter to skeletons are octopuses.
Octopuses have beaks. Are beaks considered part of a skeleton?
Isn’t the proper plural term octopi?
Afaik beaks are more like nails, hoofs and antlers in composition.
Nails, hooves, and rhino horn are all made of keratin; antlers are a little more complicated: https://www.amnh.org/explore/news-blogs/news-posts/horns-and-antlers-what-s-the-difference
I could swear some movie or video game taught me re-animated deer skeletons can have antlers.

A dungeon suddenly becomes the corridors of the Nostromo. No matter where you hide, the skeletons can sense your BONES!
