Add a touch of relentless dread to your encounters with this Ranged Skeleton Archer. Captured in a dynamic, low-profile crouch, this undead marksman features incredible anatomical detail from its exposed ribcage to its tattered, windswept cloak. Perfectly suited for guarding ancient crypts or ambushing players from the shadows of a haunted forest.
An undead sentinel has spotted an intruder and is in the middle of drawing its bow to loose an arrow.
Rank-and-file dungeon minion, ambush skirmisher in a graveyard, or a low-level necromancer's scout.
