Traits

Horrid Clacking. If the clacking skeleton moves at least 10 feet, each Beast or Humanoid creature within 30 feet of the clacking skeleton that can hear it must succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened until the end of its next turn.

Unusual Nature. A clacking skeleton doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.

Actions

Multiattack. The clacking skeleton makes one Glaive attack and one Gore attack, or two Javelin attacks.

Glaive. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d10 + 2) slashing damage. 

Gore. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage. If the clacking skeleton moved at least 10 feet straight toward the target immediately before the hit, the target takes an extra 5 (2d4) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 12 Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 5 feet away and knocked prone.

Javelin. Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) piercing damage.

Description

“Heard before it is seen, the skeleton approaches, its mismatch of bones from various humanoids clacking and clonking together with each horrid step. Leftover armor hangs from it in pieces and small horns jut half-fused from its skull.”

Augmented Solider.

Augmented with necromantic power, the clacking skeleton emits the sound of grinding bone, terrifying those who hear it.

Tomb Servitors.

They are often created as guardians for tombs or the lairs of necromancers from the leftover bones of apprentices, slaves, and scribes. Some believe their clacking is a form of complaint that the creatures must continue to serve their masters even after death.
