The skull is an undead creature with 1d6 hit points, can fly at speed 10’, has an AC of 16, and can attack with a bite (+4 attack bonus, 1d4 damage).  It has turn resistance equal to 2 + the caster level.The animator can control the skull, but he can also allow another to control it.  The controller must also be in contact with the skull when it is animated, and the animator must also touch the controller during the casting of the spell (not continuously, just at a certain point in the ritual).The skull moves as directed by the controller.  Such commands are telepathic and can be made as a free action, but are limited to one round of movement and attack/peace.  If commanded to attack, it attacks any creature it sees within 5’, except for the controller, and attacks until instructed otherwise.  It always moves silently.Diminutive undead: ½ d12, AC 16 (+4 size, +2 natural), att bite +4 (+4 size), dam 1d4; init +4 (+4 improved init); (S 10, I 1, D 10, W 10, C -, Ch 1), move: fly 10’ (perfect), face/reach 1’x1’/0’; saves: fort +0, ref +0, will +2; align NE; SQ undead qualities, darkvision, TR 3; skill: spot +3; feat: improved initiative[/sblock]</blockquote>
