The costs Skeletons are exactly what the name implies; the skeletons of an escort's services vary greatlyhumanoid corpses.

Usually raised from [[human]] or organization[[halfling]] bodies, and they skeletons can be fixed prices for specific actsformed from corpses of virtually any age, unlike zombies or hourly ratesghouls which require the remains to still possess flesh and not be in too advanced a state of decay.

=== Youkai In fact, skeletons don't just use weapons, they can wear full sets of human clothing and escort work ===armor. They even have a preference for medieval style plate armor, which provides efficient protection to their bodies. This is not without reason; the greatest threat to a skeleton is blunt damage, and more specifically, bone fractures. As they are ''all'' bone, skeletons are particularly vulnerable to anything that could fracture their bodies. Much like with zombies and ghouls, excessive damage to a critical part of their body (head, torso or hips) will dispel the necromantic grip and revert them back to a pile of inert bones.

Although strictly speakingDespite the advanced dexterity and capability to use weapons compared to weaker undead creatures, youkai escorts ''can'' exist, they skeletons are virtually impossible to find. As part of the Yatela Crime Syndicate's ''Operation Toss The Pineapples''no more intelligent, the Syndicate consistently harassed and drove youkai rings out only capable of business, often with extreme violence and prejudice, to delegitimize youkai sex work and ensure the Syndicate's control over the industry. The term "pineapple" was briefly known as an underground euphemism for a youkai escortfollowing very simple orders.
