- This article is about the creature from Heroes of Might and Magic III. For other uses, see skeleton.
The skeleton is the first-tier creature of the Necropolis faction in Heroes of Might and Magic III. It can be recruited from the cursed temple. The skeleton can be upgraded to the skeleton warrior.
While skeletons and skeleton warriors are average foot soldiers individually, it is possible to build massively populated troops of them. They are numerously produced, are the main creature produced by the Necromancy secondary skill, and other creature types can be converted into them at Necropolis skeleton transformers.OffBck
Skeletons are the backbone of the Necropolis army. Their production may be increased by six when the unearthed graves are built. Living units may be transformed into skeletons through use of the skeleton transformer.
While not the strongest unit available to the Necropolis, they can crush most units by sheer weight of numbers.
Notes[]
- Galthran is a specialist in skeletons, and gives them +1 to Attack and Defense per hero level after first level. These creatures also get +1 to Speed.
