Skeleton Rider

(image)

Once great warriors thundering across the plains, these mounted riders atop their skeletal horses were raised from the grave by unholy magic to spread fear and destruction.

Special Notes: This unit can move unseen in deep water, requiring no air from the surface. Using a charging attack doubles both damage dealt and received; this does not affect defensive retaliation.
