A Pitch Skeleton is a skeletal undead that is covered in a black oily or tarry substance, giving it a slick and blackened appearance. Unlike other skeletons, a pitch skeleton has a low level of intelligence and evil intent; they will use basic strategies in combat, such as charging opponents after a successful strike so as to ignite as many of their enemies as possible.
