Revision as of 13:19, 17 December 2009
The demons of the Fade are jealous of the world they sense from across the Veil. They constantly push against the boundaries of the Fade, and when they finally cross over, they attempt to possess the first thing they encounter. Since the Veil is weakest in places where many lives have been lost, demons commonly end up possessing the bodies of the recently dead. A skeleton is exactly that: a demon that has possessed and animated a pile of bones, driven insane once it has realized it is trapped within a body that can only barely sustain it.
A "shambling skeleton" is a slower-moving skeleton possessed by a sloth demon, able to bring entropic powers against its opponents, slowing them and even putting them to sleep.
