The power to be a superior skeleton. Superior form of Skeleton Physiology.
Also Called[]
- Advanced/Greater/Super Skeleton Physiology
Capabilities[]
The user of this ability is a skeleton of superior power. Much like the rest of the empowered races, metaskeletons are much stronger than regular skeletons all thanks to having superpowers, and they tend to be more difficult to dispatch, at least depending on what powers they possess. They tend to be much more intelligent than regular skeletons, though some superior skeletons can be described as nothing more than an unthinking juggernaut.
The superior skeletons with intelligence may become an alpha undead, lording over other skeletons and/or other types of undead. A greater skeleton can grow to control and lead countless deathless souls that can swarm over countries, if not continents, and pester the living into unliving submission.
More often than not, their power comes from an outer-worldly source bequeathing them tremendous dark power over life & death. A great many of these malevolent principalities are made to be the anathema of whichever opposing virtuous counterparts of their malevolent benefactors are, giving the power enough to slaughter the almighty.
