Spine Climber

The spine climber is by all means not a normal skeleton. They are distiguished by six long, spiderlike appendages based on its spine. These limbs end in a dense spike that is stabbed into the surface the creature is climbing.

Experimental Design. When learning necromancers have mastered the resurrection of normal skeletons, they may start modifying their creations. There are two common starting points. The first is to add additional limbs to the skeleton. The other is using components from two or more different creatures. When a necromancer combines these ideas, a spine climber is usually one of the first products.

Ambush Fighters. Spine climbers are best used in ambushes. In they caves that their masters often dwell, they will climb up the walls or onto the roof to lay in wait. When an unlucky adventure wanders into their lightless cave, they are met with bolts flying from all angles.
