Skeletons
Skeletons are undead enemies that show up later in Gothic 1 Remake. They are concentrated in ruins and temples rather than in the open colony, which means most players encounter them as part of the focus-stone arc and the push toward the Sleeper's temple.
Role
Skeletons fill the gap between regular wildlife and full late-game enemies like Orcs. They are defensive, sometimes armed with bows or crossbows, and tough to bring down quickly because they are not subject to the usual bleeding-out animations a living enemy might have.
