Runescape Dragonwilds Skeletons (Fellhollow Update) Guide
Fellhollow is now live, and players are finally running into its new undead armies. This guide covers everything confirmed so far about skeletons, with more updates coming as we test encounters and document every variant.
Note this guide is a WIP and we will update as we play through the update.
What Skeletons Are in Dragonwilds
Skeletons are the risen remains of former Fellhollow residents. Some were farmers, others were soldiers, and their gear reflects the roles they once held. They now serve as one of the core enemy groups in the region, standing beside zombies, zogres, and the forces tied to Imaru, the soul eating dragon.
Each skeleton type brings a different combat style, similar to the approach used for Goblin and Garou factions.
Visual Style and Design Notes
Fellhollow’s art direction uses infrared inspired lighting to create a dreamy, eerie landscape. Skeletons are built to stand out in this environment during both day and night.
Color is used to signal ability types, making it easier to read threats from a distance.
Shape language also plays a big role. Heavy melee skeletons use repeating three pointed shapes across their helmets, shields, and weapons. This helps players instantly recognize their toughness and range.
Skeleton Archetypes
The full list of skeleton types is still being documented, but these archetypes are confirmed.
Light skeletons with minimal armor
Medium skeletons with standard gear
Heavy melee skeletons with thick plating and strong defenses
Heavy units are the easiest to spot due to their bulkier gear and repeated shapes. They hit harder and take longer to defeat.
Additional variants are expected, and more will be added to this guide as players encounter them.
Skeleton Behavior in Fellhollow
Skeletons patrol corrupted farms, ruined structures, and transitional areas between life and death. Some guard key paths. Others appear in groups mixed with zombies or zogres.
Their designs make it easy to track threat level visually, which matters during hectic fights where multiple undead types swarm you at once.
NPC allies familiar to RuneScape fans appear throughout the region to guide you, though their full interaction with skeleton encounters varies by quest and region events.
What We Are Still Testing
Now that Fellhollow is live, certain details are still being figured out.
Exact drop tables
Weakness types
Spawn density across subregions
Elite or named skeleton variants
Any crafting or quest uses for their remains
This guide will be updated as more data rolls in from real gameplay.
Final Blurb
Skeletons are a major part of Fellhollow’s combat identity. Their clear silhouettes, color signals, and varied gear help you read fights fast while exploring this eerie new region. We’ll continue updating this guide as more skeleton types, drops, and behaviors are confirmed.
