I know everyone hates ads. But please understand that I am providing premium content for free that takes hundreds of hours of time to research and write. If I can't make at least a little bit of money to support my family via this site, I'll have to stop working on it.
One alternative is to become a RuneScoop member. It's cheap, you get access to all of the site with no ads, and you help keep the lights on around here.
If you want to use this site for free, I'd be grateful if you could add RuneScoop to the whitelist for Adblock. To do so, just open the Adblock menu and select "Disable on Runescoop.com". Or go to the Tools menu and select "Adblock Plus Preferences...". Then click "Add Filter..." at the bottom, and add this string: "@@http://*runescoop.com/*". Then just click OK.
Thanks for your understanding!
Sincerely... Qeltar, aka Charles, your hard-working host and RuneScape guide-writer extraordinaire. :)

These skeletons are easily identifiable
because of their large size: they are much bigger than the many other
types of skeletons that inhabit the Abandoned theme floors
at Daemonheim. They are gray in color and hold a large hatchet in one
hand, and a small shield (relatively speaking) in the other.
These monsters attack only with melee,
and are capable of dishing out a considerable amount of damage, especially
at higher levels. Like other skeletons they are weak to crush attacks
and magic, moderately strong against other melee attacks, and seem to
be strong against ranging. It is sometimes possible to at least partially
safe spot these, because of their size, but they dont stay put
for longwatch out.
