Skeletons are the remains of other unknown adventurers who perished before the main character entered the world. They can occasionally be found in the wilderness, aboveground and in Caves, usually around Set Pieces, and often have random loot beside them.

When defeated, a Big Tentacle can drop one of these.

Not to be confused with Bones.

In the Reign of Giants DLC, Skeletons can be destroyed with a hit from the Hammer for Bone Shards. When the player dies in RoG, an identical skeleton with a special character examination quote will be left in that location with the player's gear, implying that all set pieces are dead players.

Trivia

 * The model of the Skeleton is the same model as the unimplemented character Wilton found in the Don't Starve files.
