The Skeleton Lord
The Skeleton Lord is a creature made of fused skeleton and body parts, with sinew and blood connecting it together.[1] It is a master of necromancy.[2]
In-game[]
The Skeleton Lord is an undead monster in Diablo IV, apparently as a boss. He summons skeletons and bone walls, while leveraging a giant staff that impacts the ground, creating a shower of exploding bone shards[1] that blind the player.[2]
Development[]
The Skeleton Lord was conceived as art first, with the design team subsequently using the art as inspiration for his fight.[1] At BlizzCon 2019, it was called the "Tomb Lord."[2]
Trivia[]
- The Skeleton Lord appears similar to the Skeleton King from previous games. Both wield staves/maces, both summon skeletons, and both are lords/monarchs.
