[Fallen Seraph]

Looks more purple to me. I think that skeleton will probably have something to do with necrotic damage.

Given that the description for necrotic says:
Necrotic: Purple-black energy that deadens flesh and wounds the soul.

I suspect the purple one is a Boneshard skeleton; they explode with necrotic energy.

However, the fact that it has sharp weapons tied to it makes me hesitate.

I am a bit puzzled by 'Purple' and 'Dusty'. The art itself is pretty decent, though I suspect the wacky effects on those two will annoy me a little. Not much you can really do with skeletons... its too easy for people to tell if you draw them wrong.

Art by Ralph Horsley
Animated by dark magic and composed entirely of bones, a skeleton is emotionless and soulless, desiring nothing but to serve its creator.​

Am i the only person who thinks the skeleton that explodes should look more like a normal skeleton!?

I love the Diablo Skeleton Mages! About time they get implemented in D&D? (Though one could argue that Lich Wizards already where that )

I think "Spell-stitched" would constitute the skeletal mages, since they weren't really potent enough to be classified as a Lich.

But yeah, I like those guys.
