Skeleton Yorick

Skeleton YorickLEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed is a Castle and Pirates minifigure. He is based on the physical skeleton minifigure introduced in 2013, although he canonically makes his debut as a specific character in LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed in 2020.
== Description ==
Yorick is a generic skeleton, depicted with the 2013 redesign with vertical Skulkin arms. In LEGO Legacy, when he uses his abilities, he dresses up as a medieval king and a pirate. As a king, he features the crown, beard, and cape of the Classic King. As a pirate, he wears a black bicorne with a Jolly Roger pattern and a red feather plume; has an orange Beard For Mage; and swaps out his right leg for a pegleg, represented with a brown Stick Ø 3.2 W. Holder. During his victory animation, he also carries around a black top hat, similar to the Forbidden Skeleton.
==Background==
Yorick trained at the Ghoul-liard School of the Arts to become a thespian actor, able to perform any role required of him. He is always eager to help, even if he is not particularly strong or smart due to lacking muscles and a brain.
In LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed, Yorick is an Explorer/Builder support unit with the abilities "Take a Break", "Bone to Pick", "Jolly Bones", and "Role Player". He is notable for being both an Explorer and a Builder, as well as being classified in both the Castle and Pirates themes, allowing him to partake in a wide variety of teams.

Note: Because Skeleton Yorick uses the generic skeleton minifigure, it is uncertain which (if any) of the following sets feature Yorick specifically. Therefore, this article only lists Pirates and Castle-themed sets featuring the 2013 skeleton.
* 21322 Pirates of Barracuda Bay
* 31084 Pirate Roller Coaster
* 31109 Pirate Ship
* 31120 Medieval Castle
=== Video Game Appearances ===
* LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed
==Notes==
* Yorick is presumably named after the deceased court jester from William Shakespeare's Hamlet, famed for the scene of Prince Hamlet holding Yorick's skull.
* The 2013 skeleton minifigure has appeared in many sets of different themes, including licensed themes such as Star Wars and Marvel; however, none of them have been explicitly identified as Yorick himself. With Yorick being classified as a Pirates minifigure, he is likely to be the skeleton in 21322 Pirates of Barracuda Bay, 31109 Pirate Ship, and/or 31084 Pirate Roller Coaster; and being classified as a Castle minifigure, he may also be the skeleton later appearing in 31120 Medieval Castle. Yorick's role in LEGO Legacy seems to be representative of LEGO skeletons in general regardless of theme or story context, with his trivia referencing the first skeleton minifigures (including Skully) that simultaneously debuted in Royal Knights and Pirates sets in 1995; Eamon in 5701 LEGO Loco; and the skeleton in 75005 Rancor Pit.
