An escort boss One of the more esoteric and overtly magical types of creatures is the leader undead. Baffling biologists and the scientific community until their magical origins could be ascertained, undead creatures are defined as being "dead bodies or collections of dead body parts, that have been reanimated through magical means." The specific type of magic that leads to the creation of undead creatures is known as ''necromancy''. Skeletons are exactly what the name implies; the skeletons of humanoid corpses. They are considered an intermediate threat and a far more dangerous type of undead creature than the [[escort|escortzombie]] ringor the [[ghoul]]. Usually raised from [[human]] or [[halfling]] bodies, skeletons can be formed from corpses of virtually any age, unlike zombies or ghouls which require the remains to still possess flesh and not be in too advanced a state of decay.

A ''pimp'' is a male escort bossAn animated skeleton has, on its own, whereas a ''madam'' is a female escort bossfew methods to fight. Alternative terms include ''ringleader'' (because they run an ''escort ring'')It cannot effectively deliver punches, so it instead relies on the sharpness of its fingertips, using them as claws. Fortunately for them and unfortunately for their opponents, the necromantic magic animating them has also restored their original dexterity; most skeletons therefore ''zebra'' or ''Mrarm themselves./Mrs. Stripes'' (after the zebra-patterned clothes they commonly wear)It is not rare to see skeletons armed with various kinds of weapons, from crossbows to axes to firearms.

Most of the duties of an escort boss are managerial. Their jobs include providing foodIn fact, shelter skeletons don't just use weapons, they can wear full sets of human clothing and safety armor. They even have a preference for their subordinatesmedieval style plate armor, arranging meetings between customers and which provides efficient protection to their escortsbodies. This is not without reason; the greatest threat to a skeleton is blunt damage, organizing special events and offersmore specifically, managing the ringbone fractures. As they are 's finances'all'' bone, and setting the cut they take from each subordinate (can vary greatly, ranging from 15% skeletons are particularly vulnerable to 75%)anything that could fracture their bodies. RarelyMuch like with zombies and ghouls, escort bosses perform sex work excessive damage to a critical part of their own, depending on age, physical conditionbody (head, torso or hips) will dispel the necromantic grip and popularityrevert them back to a pile of inert bones.

The majority of escort bosses are themselves subordinate Despite the advanced dexterity and capability to a gang or criminal organizationuse weapons compared to weaker undead creatures, particularly if their brothel is located in a town controlled by such an organization. These organizations themselves take a cut from the rings under their controlskeletons are no more intelligent, in exchange for guaranteeing their safety, providing heavily-armed security and threatening misbehaving customers and competing rings with violent retributiononly capable of following very simple orders.
