Skeleton (スケルトン), also known as Skeleton Soldier, is a versatile enemy in Golden Axe, an undead warrior summoned by Death Adder's magic. Skeletons are equipped with a sword and a shield. They are notable for possessing all of the basic attacks the protagonist has (Dash Attack, Jumping Attack, etc).
Skeletons also appear in Golden Axe II (in this case, equipped with a short scythe instead of a sword), Ax Battler: A Legend of Golden Axe, Golden Axe Warrior and Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder.
In Golden Axe Warrior, they come in three variants; green, blue and red, all wielding swords which they shoot at the player.
