A subtrope of Dem Bones, Skeletons are often symbols of death, but in recent years, especially in much of the West, Skeletons have also become a symbol for revelry and good old fashioned spooky fun. Skeletons in fiction will often be portrayed as funny, jolly, and sometimes clever. They will often dress in dapper suits, and may be graceful and agile. Bone and skeleton puns are almost guaranteed, as are scenes of rib cages being used like xylophones or skulls being juggled and tossed about. The skeleton in question will usually either be on the hero's side, be the hero, or at least be a really fun antagonist. Can often be a Skeletal Musician. This is due, in no small part, because of their association with Halloween and Dia de los Muertos (with Calacas being a related trope/subtrope of this in most depictions that's particularly tied to Mexican culture and heritage), as well as the fact that they always appear to be grinning. Skeletons are associated with death, but that isn't always a bad thing. In many circles and cultures, skeletons and skulls can serve as a reminder to accept and even embrace death, thus the oft sympathetic portrayals of the Grim Reaper. As an extension of their association with death and thus endings, they may sometimes be associated with change. They may be further used to symbolize life after death, or with one's family or ancestry. In a sense, a skull or skeleton can sometimes be a symbol of embracing life. There's also the fact that there is something inherently funny about a skeleton just getting up and walking around. This trope is especially common in works centering around Halloween, or that have a decidedly Goth aesthetic, so friendly skeletons are especially likely to be found in Halloweentown. They can also be an example of Our Monsters Are Different. Related to Chummy Mummy, Friendly Zombie, Friendly Ghost, Friendly Neighborhood Vampire, and Wonderful Werewolf. If the skeleton is the Grim Reaper, it's also Don't Fear the Reaper. Can often overlap with Stingy Jack. |

The Raid: Shadow Legends commercials features Death Knight as a nice guy talking to the audience espousing how awesome it is to use Death Knight (an undead mook) and a following commercial has him despondent at how much of a loser he is and not a champion, before he goes to sleep and is remade into Ultimate Death Knight. In the actual video game, Death Knight was an evil monster before he grew into what was portrayed in the commercial. | |

Skeletor from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983), while not exactly kind, is definitely hammy enough to qualify. This is especially true in the Christmas Special, where he becomes overwhelmed with Christmas Spirit, much to his confusion. Played straighter in an episode in which a magic mirror creates morally-inverted duplicates of those reflecting on it. The mirror creates a Good Counterpart of Skeletor, who helps the heroes against the original one. |

Being based on the Day of the Dead, Fiesta from Skylanders is a polite, friendly, mariachi band leader who happens to be a calavera-themed skeleton, willing to give trumpet lessons and autographs if asked. When he found out the respected Count Moneybone was intending to conquer Skylands, he and his band worked to distract the Count's army while the Skylanders stopped him. It was this act of heroism that led Master Eon to make him part of the Skylanders. | |

Anpanman: Horrorman the skeleton is extremely friendly and easygoing, and on good terms with most if not all of the other characters. This turns out to be a bit of a problem, though, because he's so personable and chummy that he treats everyone as his best friend and will cheerfully help them with whatever they need help with... even if the person he's helping is, say, a major villain. | |

Undertale has the skeleton brothers Sans and Papyrus, who are well liked in their Monster Town and can become friends with the human Player Character. Papyrus refuses to kill the human even when they're hostile to him, and the player even has the option to go on a date with him. Sans is friendly unless you choose the genocide route, in which case you’re already as good as dead, and often makes skeleton puns, much to his brother's annoyance. | |

Gladius: One has the chance to recruit an Undead Summoner and an Undead Legionnaire into their gladiator school. They tend to act like their living counterparts, but are cheaper to recruit — as in free. The Undead Summoners and Undead Legionnaires encountered in the Official Games tend to follow the Rules of the Games — for instance, should a living gladiator fall unconscious during the fight, they will let the healers take the unconscious gladiator out of the arena. |

King of Dragon Pass has an event involving Bundalini's All-Skeleton Band. Although undead are a ever-present threat for your people, these animate skeletons are harmless and fun. | |

In Ruby Gloom we have Skullboy (pictured), the main character's friend and Love Interest. Interestingly, his main character trait is that he's constantly trying to figure out where he came from and what his ancestry is. There's also the Skeletunes, a jazz band comprised entirely of skeletons |

Skelly in Hades was hired by a Mysterious Employer to act as a training dummy for Zagreus. He prefers to keep his relationship professional and won't say much about himself and likes to mess with Zagreus sometimes, but he can be befriended and will appreciate your tokens of kindness. The others in the House of Hades who are aware of his presence don't seem to mind him as well. | |

In The Book of Life, the dead are depicted as walking skeletons with glowing eyes, but all of them retain the experiences they had in life and most of them are nice. Similarly, La Muerte is depicted as a skeleton made of candied bones, but she's sweet, caring, and reasonable. | |

In the "Robert Palins" sketch from I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson, this is the impression one gets of the skeletons that Tim sings about coming to life. They might pull your hair, but up, not out. And really all they want's another chance at life, because they've never seen so much food as this. note Underground there's half as much food as this! | |
