==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Skeleton squires are spooky undead nobles riding atop of mad, manic hellish horses. They carry a silver lance that they use to stab at foes and a sparkly silver shield to match. They wear an overly extravagant plumed hat on top of their powdered wig to hide their boney bald heads and wear glorious green cloaks with bright orange boots and bracers. Their sturdy steeds are brown with preposterous purple manes. Despite their similarities in appearance to [[Grim rider]]s, they are distinct and dangerous {{MFamilies}}s with subtle differences.

The {{Party 7}} fights a boss version of the Skeleton squire in [[Al-Balad]]. It speaks using bone-related puns and will attack the party while exploring the [[Temple Palace]]. [[Hadid]] will help out as a temporary {{Party 7}} member, but he often wastes his turn assessing the situation. The skeleton should cause no trouble for a moderately leveled {{Party 7}}.
