. “Richard Skeleton Skelman,” “Dungeon Designer and Keeper of the Year,” from a long line of Skelmans.

A skeleton, “one quarter of a guy.” He was resurrected without his clothes. He doesn’t remember his own murder but knows he was murdered.
His voice and thought come from his magical bone, his big toe.
His dungeon application was rejected for an overblown bone budget, with an insulting imp messenger.
He uses Tim and the Poopshoe chutes (“leaky”) in his dungeons, and imports monsters from China. He wants to hire Bunga for a butter trap.
He noticed Thea’s body first.
Fired a rocket at the Arbiter, which was thrown back as a homing missile. He is reduced to a skull and his toe, which Dr. Octo stuck to a femur.

(Joel). A skeleton; “Richard,” “Dick.”

Known to the Grandmaster and “beloved by the fortress.”
Has no eyeballs and sees by echolocation (chattering his teeth). His bones are held by “magnets” and detach at will. No feeling.
Buried his lover Josephine alive in the family plot.
Makes dungeons for a living, a business passed down from his lich grandfather. Signature move the Bone Zone; builds the Bonetron.
Family: mother Meredith (said “Bertha” first); Auntie Ethel (a ghost; he ruined a dinner once); sister Dick Arena; a lich grandfather with “plenty of other grandchildren.” “We’re all dicks. That’s the family name.”
Keeps a gelatinous cube friend on him. Likes pie.
Says he solved a murder mystery involving Thea (“a real proper dick on that case”).
Leaves carrying Josephine’s arm and his grandfather’s rib.

(“Skelly,” “Skelvin” to Thea).

Background:
- An old, dead skeleton who has “existed as a skeleton for a millennia” and has been “this way for thousands of years,” trying to ascend.
- His grandfather is buried at the mausoleum; Team B killed him “again” last time.
- Has “buried so many.” The zombie arm/hand he carries may be his ex-girlfriend’s (“maybe”; plotline unresolved).
- Never went to high school prom: “nobody asked me.”
- Remembers merging with Knottley into “one giant body” last time.
Francis:
- A gelatinous-cube “jelly slime friend” that holds his bones together. He gets a new one “about every week.”
- Francis waves with pseudopods and saved Skelman’s life in Round 5.
The bone zone / danger dungeon:
- A space he can expand into. He “owns” it and subcontracts its work: the statue and his trap-setting “lackeys.”
Personality:
- Holds firm opinions on ethics (prom with a minor, possession and charm spells as “inherently evil”).
- Hates cardio. Played Captain Falcon “on my N64 days, back when I had flesh and bone.”
This episode:
- Got the Shield of the Golden King, smelted into golden dice; they shattered on his first defense.
- Won and became leader of Team B, renamed “Team D” (for dicks), though he now regrets not choosing “Dick Dynasty.”
