Skeleton Army

The **Skeleton Army** is an army of predominately skeletons that was founded by Captain Yarma in order to organise the monsters in the Emere Mountain Range into a fighting force against the village of Emere.

## Information

The Skeleton Army consists of the following enemies:

* Skeleton Soldiers are the army's main infantry, wielding powerful Army Lances and wearing tough chain armor. They are highly trained in the art of attacking and killing in the Skeleton Army Barracks.
* Skeleton Archers are the army's main ranged infantry, utilising Soldier Repeaters to shoot at anything that moves.
* Skeleton Corporals are slightly better armed soldiers who hold Bone Shields to signify their position. They are trained in tactics and leading a small group of other soldiers into battle.
* Skeleton Cavalry are archers that ride on Skeleton Horses. To make their extra speed hurt all the more, they carry powerful Cavalry Rifles.
* Army Scouts are infantry that specialise in scouting out areas, wearing lighter leather armor and wielding Scout Daggers.
* Garrison Archers are lightly armored archers who are stationed in defensive positions at garrison walls. They are trained to fire at opponents at a much longer distance.
* Pigman Generals are the leaders of the Skeleton Army forces. They are in charge of leading the army as a whole into battle, and are also no slouch in the fighting department, their experience in the Tribal Snouts serving them well. They are also trained in using cannons to wreak large amounts of explosive damage.
* Captain Yarma is the leader of the overall Skeleton Army.

Other enemies related to the Skeleton Army but not part of the fighting forces include:

* Iron Robots are stationed inside the Skeleton Army Barracks. They are smaller, more crude versions of Iron Golems, created to be smaller so Captain Yarma can sitll boss them around. Their purpose appears to be in building and defence. It is unknown if they were ever intended to become part of the fighting force.
* Undead Burglars attacked Emere at the same time as the Skeleton Army did, leading the charge to break down doors and murder Emere villagers.

## History

Captain Yarma was originally the Iron Golem in charge of defending Emere from monsters, however due to the high concentration of them constantly attacking, he eventually went rogue from being overworked.

Vowing revenge, he united all the skeletons in the Emere Mountain Ranges under his command and formed the Skeleton Army. They began occupying much of the mountain ranges, setting up garrisons and building the Skeleton Army Barracks. Inside the barracks he began building smaller, more crude versions of himself - the Iron Robots - to use as part of his army and to guard the barracks. He also came across four zombie pigmen who had been exiled from the Tribal Snouts to the Frozen Wasteland and had made it out into the neighbouring mountain ranges. Being impressed by how powerful they were in combat, he offered them a spot in his army as his four generals.

The Skeleton Army's first attempts at invading Emere were successful, often killing multiple villagers, however eventually Steve would arrive and defend it, making it impossible for them to attack anymore. It is unknown if Steve ever attempted to destroy the Skeleton Army as the player eventually would, although in the Garrison Report it is stated that 'when Steve was alive, occasionally I'd at least get to shoot my bow,' alluding that perhaps he did attempt to but never got past the garrisons.

When Steve was assassinated, however, Captain Yarma saw this as the perfect opportunity to invade and destroy Emere once and for all with all his forces, amassing most of his skeleton forces, all four of his Pigman Generals, and one of his cannons in a large-scale attack. However, he did this at the same time the player arrived to investigate Steve's death, resulting in the player defeating all four Pigman Generals, disabling the cannon, and then fighting their way through each garrison and eventually all the way back to the barracks, where they destroyed all three Power Cores in the barracks and then slayed Captain Yarma by knocking him into a deep pit.

Without their leader, the Skeleton Army fell into disarray, never fighting in a concentrated force again.
