Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Generally, skeletons were once seen as genuinely horrifying. They ended up becoming Camp at a later point... But, that is not what this trope is about. This trope is about skeletons and/or skeleton-like beings and monsters who are completely sinister and Played for Horror. Can Overlap with Eldritch Abomination and Undead Abomination. Contrast Friendly Skeleton. This is a Sub-Trope of Dem Bones. Examples |

Zigzagged in Terminator 2: Judgment Day where the skeleton of Sarah Connor was clinging on to the chain link fence after her flesh had been blasted off by the shockwave from the nuclear bomb, leaving the creep factor there but no malice. | |

In Pooh's Grand Adventure Pooh and his friends become convinced that Christopher Robin has been kidnapped by a monstrous "Skullosaurus" and taken away to a place known as "the Skull." The heroes run from this creature for the duration of the story. As for "the Skull," while it is revealed to be a rocky outcropping as opposed to a skeletal one, it looks appropriate to the name and is pretty ominous. | |

Digimon Adventure: When Tai forces Greymon to digivolve to Ultimate, it results in him becoming SkullGreymon, a giant walking dinosaur skeleton who lashes out at everything around him in a berserker rage. For a short time afterward, Tai was afraid of having Agumon digivolve, worried that he would become SkullGreymon again. | |

Super Mario Bros.: Dry Bowser is introduced in New Super Mario Bros. after Bowser is knocked into a Lava Pit in World 1. Unlike his flesh and blood counterpart, he has a deeper, almost demonic sounding voice, spits blue flames, and has glowing red eyes. He usually appears in most games as a Bonus Boss or occasionally as Bowser's One-Winged Angel form. Bonechill from Super Paper Mario is a skeletal demon with ice powers and successfully raided and took over The Overthere, the Paper Mario equivalent of Heaven. |

The Skeletal Horror in RuneScape is an undead sentient collection of bones; it covertly gets the player to collect various creature's bones (and some golden wool for a 'non-chafing manacle') and once this set of quests is complete unlocks a boss fight with the Horror. Said Horror is related to the Jungle Horrors seen in the Pirate Islands, and is related to the mysterious Xau-Tak, who appears to be the setting's Greater-Scope Villain. | |

One of the major factions in Warhammer is the Tomb Kings, which are composed of undead skeletons bought back through necromancy. They are genuinely creepy, though normally, although rather than malicious, they lean more along the lines of being very territorial of their land of Nehekhara. That said, there is one Tomb King who proves to be just as malicious as the Chaos Gods; Nagash (also the guy in the image), whose ultimate goal is to kill everything in the world and then bring them back as mindless undead for him to lord over. * Age Of Sigmar returns the two (well, four really) undead factions, where Nagash runs an army of ghosts, zombies, and weird iron-and-bone constructs, but does have some classic armed skeletons; and the Ossiarch Bonereapers, constructs of oddly shaped bone and specially selected souls. |

Sailor Moon gives us Wiseman/Death Phantom. He is an absolutely monstrous Eldritch Abomination who Was Once a Man before merging with the Planet Nemesis to become a Genius Loci, using avatars with the appearance of a cloaked skeleton to communicate and advance his plans via Manipulation, Mind Rape and corrupting others. His goal? Destroy everything. Justified as he is a spawn of the Greater-Scope Villain of the franchise, Chaos. In the Anime, nobody knows where Wiseman came from, and the cloaked skeleton is actually his true appearance, rather than it being the Planet Nemesis. Still, either way, he will gleefully Mind Rape children if it will further his plans to destroy everything. | |
