Giant Skeleton stats?

[leg1on]

Hi All,

Can someone point me to a stat-up for them?

I'm sure I've seen one somewhere.

Thanks,

Legion

Here's one, but it might be more than your party bargained for...

Bone colossus (AC 0, MV 12",HD 10, hp 45, #AT 1, D 4-14/bone club, regenerate 3 hp per round, immune to cold, sleep, charm, and hold spells, edged weapons do half damage), a being created from the joining of many skeletons. Total dismemberment will not destroy the colossus; the bones that form it will move back together and rejoin, creating it anew. Once the colossus is reduced to 0 hit points, 10 rounds (1 turn) will be required before the creature is reformed. Fire and acid damage are permanent. A cleric may turn the creature as if it were a "special" class of undead (18 Queen of the Demonweb Pits Q1)

Other than this, I think there are rulings for hit dice for undead giants in the AD&D Dungeon Masters Guide.

Heck, just make some up.

Take a skeleton. Give him more HD.

[Zenopus]

OD&D Skeletons have 1/2 HD, and Normal Men (e.g. Bandits) have 1 HD, so you could you this as a rule of thumb and give any skeleton form 1/2 of the HD of the living creature. And perhaps have it turned as an undead of the same HD.

Examples:
Gnoll Skeleton, 1 HD, turned as Zombie
Ogre Skeleton, 2 HD, turned as Ghoul
Hill Giant Skeleton, 4 HD, turned as Wraith


Human zombies have 1 HD just like normal humans, so for zombies you could just use the same HD as the living creature.

This may be what you’re looking for, from MC10 (AD&D 2e). Probably way more info than needed for OD&D, but I had to post it for the Monty Python reference, at least.

Thanks Falconer. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
