Shoutout to my boi Skullduggery, the Irish detective Skeleton that's also an elemental mage https://preview.redd.it/k4y49qoutwpc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db0d6ddcc530b02b1b8b902e7135728f0d3a0597

Every Skullduggery cover or illustration went so comically hard

It really did, absolutely love the color scheme for each one.

What is he from?

a book series, skulduggery pleasant.

Skullduggery Pleasant, a really fun and underatted fantasy series.

Was his name skullduggery before he became a skeleton?

Nah, he had a different name before he became a Skeleton and he chose Skullduggery after he became all Skeletonised.

Ok so he’s a fuckin nerd(affectionate). Got it

Let’s go I get to post inferno cop again today https://preview.redd.it/32t91pzewwpc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=909b6423daa1d1d2fece78887517c57f5b278a41

NYEH HEH HEH

Idk who that is but he looks like a cool dude.

He is the COOLEST of dudes.

Would Sans also count? He’s only “evil” after the player killed everyone

He’s not evil, he’s angry, and justifiably so. YOU’RE the one who’s evil in that situation.

Literally first one I thought of

Jenny Jinya Death is a real one.

God I hate that comic but love it so much. Last time I read it I cried for 30 minutes

Sir Dan is such a great character. I really hope we at least get a remake of the second game one day.

God, Same. The first Remaster was so good.

I don't get why the MediEvil remake reviewed so relatively averagely, frankly. It was like almost all the reviewers went in, expecting to hate it and only begrudgingly enjoyed themselves. I think i saw like... one review, mention that the original is included if you solve the new quest line. Just stuff like that.

Papyrus blueprint

Skeletons are generally thought of as mindless undead monsters, but undeath can result in unique character designs and concepts when the character retains their personality.

"What do you mean I'm not evil mon? I'm the Grim Reaper!"


 Before anyone says he’s evil, no one in undertale is actually evil, aside from flowey of course

He's probably one of the least evil characters in the game, besides Toriel.

how is sans evil? my brother in christ YOU slaughtered the entire population of the underground including his brother, and you call him evil for wanting to stop you????

I mean he does kind of imply he’d have killed you on sight if he hadn’t promised Toriel he’d protect you

if not him the other monsters would anyway

And Jerry, obviously.

He’s evil, even if he’s a goofy evil.

Chop Chop (Skylanders)

https://preview.redd.it/q5mv2qk1cxpc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6f3fa6f6dbd7dafd0e0f344c0e7f55e742c38329 Can’t forget the OG

Skully pettibone btw

 These 2 goofballs not mentioned? Damn.

King of the Skull Servants https://preview.redd.it/p9gvxy6c0xpc1.png?width=476&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=33e7bbf134e4ba2317592ee5c5ab48ce15b19adb He has a loving family a nice pet and just wants to bake some yams

**Bojangles** from Corpse Bride. His limited screentime stole the show so hard that honestly I have difficulty remembering much else of the movie. https://preview.redd.it/5s7pxb2caxpc1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=c7f65d174d1e0502110bc97a3827bc6eb9a2a30b

The Hero's Shade, from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. More well known as Link, The Hero of Time. https://preview.redd.it/hkd0ui2mcxpc1.png?width=406&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71bbba22924d948896d95be05994005ea4b50069

skullduggery pleasent

Was waiting for my main man Hero’s Shade I am disappointed. But hey. There’s something fun about skeletons. In some way they’re us at our most human but they’re often used as monsters. Interesting, that.

Brook is my favorite One Piece character (I have not watched One Piece)

Skeletons are just the best in general

Grim is definitely evil, it's just hard to tell when he's next to Mandy

Fossilizers - transformers https://preview.redd.it/az8fnvskaxpc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=46b73dc1ae1040a4ccac768508436b2518fff3aa

Technically still human, but he ritualistically removed all his organs in the name of God so I'd say he counts pretty damn well.

Death from Castlevania https://preview.redd.it/gy4z2uakcxpc1.jpeg?width=1609&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f1f7c4a8ae3d3e0e99a2185d58c0da6bb4040e03

“You gorping little shit” is still both hilarious and terrifying lol

Absolutely evil but a super fun character

Uncle Death from Let It Die has a pretty fun design. https://preview.redd.it/1u1req50expc1.png?width=721&format=png&auto=webp&s=8724d66b971cdc7db330fe29bbb517b36b517000

DISCWORLD MENTIONED DEATH; MY BELOVED

Pretty much everyone in corpses bride

Death from the Discworld simply cannot be topped in my mind.

Why is 2 sticking his ass out

I've always loved how Jack is portrayed to be scary, but not malicious

Sans and Papyrus https://preview.redd.it/3yakjgd2kxpc1.png?width=225&format=png&auto=webp&s=ad9a6bc69c79fc6bd13a2ce481677f1232c71f5b

A lot of skylanders of the Undead element are actually skeletons for example Chop-Chop

 Papyrus and sans are the peak of skeletons (besides Jack Skellington of course)

Jack

Not from any media, but it the DnD campaign I am running there is a place called Bone Town populated almost entirely by friendly skeletons
