*It's a skeleton! It has a battle-axe and a shield. The skeleton roams through the dungeon letting out hauntingly terrifying shrieks. It can't speak, only scream and shriek and hiss. It's a mostly mindless undead creature, a reanimated skeletal corpse summoned by dark magic or some other means for the purpose of guarding a crypt or dungeon, and slaying intruders. It's not evil, just doing it's job. It can't talk, skeletons can't talk. It's not very tough.*
