In the Dungeons & Dragons role playing game, Skeleton Warriors are a more powerful version of Animated Skeletons: ones created from great warriors. Unlike their lesser kin, Skeleton Warriors retain all of their fighting skill and are highly resistant to magic. Skeleton Warriors are difficult to command, and as such are rarely found in groups greater than two or three.
Lord Soth of Krynn was served by thirteen Skeleton Warriors, the cursed undead remnants of his loyal retainers.
Skeleton Warriors was also the title of an animated cartoon, revolving around the battles of two groups of warrior-wizards, transformed into undead versions of themselves by a magical accident.
The SkeletonWarriorscartoons got moved around frequently which made it hard to establish a following, but the main reason it failed may have been the figures and the story plot were too dark for children.
With a bunch of skeleton and skull images blazing on the packages (and on the good guys as well), concerned parents did not want to buy their kids toys which seemed steeped in death and evil.
SkeletonWarriors were an incredible line which had the potential to become toy legend, but will now be remembered as just another fatality in the never ending battle between toymakers to create the next big thing.
