Sand Skeleton
Very High Threat
Level 10 · Undead (Custom AI)
The Sand Skeleton is an undead spellcaster that alternates between fire and shadow magic, making it impossible to counter with a single resistance type. Its Meditate ability lets it restore mana when running low, enabling sustained high-cost spellcasting.

Heavy-hitting shadow nuke. Flat damage — no variance. Owl players know this one well from their own rotation. |

Restores mana over multiple turns when its mana pool runs low. Allows the Skeleton to keep casting expensive spells indefinitely in long fights. |

Combat Tip
The dual damage-type rotation means no single resistance counters it. End the fight quickly rather than trying to outlast it — the Meditate cycle can sustain it indefinitely. Turtle's Shield Up! doesn't help here since both skills are magical. Cat Fireball or Owl post-Curse: Feeble burst is your best bet for fast kills.
