Moonskulls

Moonskulls, or Moonskels, are a type of skeleton that excavate themselves at night and display unique characteristics.
Moonskulls are the result of reflected sunlight from the moon on certain monsters. This effect will manifest even after the original monster has died, and the skeletons will return to the surface and imitate hunting behaviors. They dig themselves into the ground at sunrise. The moonlight seemingly disperses the yeast infused flesh of these monsters, revealing a skeletal appearance. The phenomenon is linked to moonstones that glow green at night, as the phenomenon always takes place near deposits of the stone. Locals have learned to wear clothing decorated with moonstone to trick the moonskulls.
This phenomenon has been observed in blins, anks, lizardanths, hilltoppers and certain horse skeletons. Horses are an exception in that they aren't hostile and can be ridden, however they disappear at dawn like other Moonskulls. 
== Combat tactics ==
These skeleton frames are mobile but brittle, most shocks cause them to disarticulate. They will reform after a while and will do so unless the head has been damaged. Moonskels are able to use weapons and even use their own detached arms as weapons, they will also hurl the heads of other Moonskels at threats.

The skkeletons are easily defeated using gust weapons as it breaks them apart, leaving the skull unprotected. Sunlight or sudden bright flashes of light will also destroy Moonskulls completely. 
If the body of a moon skull is destroyed, the head will mysteriously float and continue to attack.
Strangely, the right arms of moon skulls will continue to move even once the head and body is destroyed (unless by sunlight), attempting to swipe and claw at unseen targets. Throwing the arms at certain angles will cause them to return to the thrower like a boomerang.
