Pathfinder 1E Stats needed: Dragon Skeleton

[Allensh]

Does anyone know if one of these exists in one of the Adventure paths or some such? I'm pretty new at this and the template thing is kind of confusing me. I'd prefer to just steal a stat block from somewhere Thanks!

What color/size?

What color/size?

I was thinking the skeleton of a Red Dragon, huge size. Could go up to gargantuan.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, the closest I can find is brinebones in Skull & Shackles (#60) on p. 27. But he's a bronze electric skeleton gargantuan undead (CR 13).

yes, that would be a bit too hefty for 3rd level characters oh well, I'll muddle through or fake it Thank you.

I doubt it would fly, being a skeleton and all. If you want to rule otherwise it's got a fly speel of 150 ft.

*Technically* because of the size and damage it'd be CR 8 but the hitpoints, AC, and attacks are more in line with a CR 5 or 6 creature. It's damage output can be very high if it focuses fire, so be warned.

Now, the AC and hp of this bad boy are still within acceptable limits of a level 3 party the increase in size *really* ups the damage. They do NOT want to get hit by this guy and a full attack will tear them to shreds.

Thank you! Yes, this is a nasty beastie in terms of damage! But it is kind of supposed to be I really appreciate this!
