Dead Frame

Dead Frame (デッド・フレーム) is an enemy from Golden Axe III. It mostly uses jump attacks in combat, but can also dash attack and block. They often appear in pairs, trios and even larger groups.

Overall
It'' more or less replaces the skeleton from the previous two golden axe games. it appears to be that of a humanoid lizard skeleton (possibly a deceased hell lizard) with a short dual bladed scythe as it's main weapon and a standard shield with one spike. ''During gameplay, the darker and tougher variants with a slightly yellow shield have a waving tail that is visible, allowing for an easier way of telling the difference.

Gameplay
Dead Frames can prove a major threat if not taken care of immediately, especially by inexperienced players and can even take a chunk of health, or even a life if players are not careful. two regular Dead Frames and two dark ones serve as a boss in the Ancient Mound.
