Description

The Cursed Skeleton is an enemy that appears in Polluted Wastelands II and in challenge maps. It normally does not appear naturally, usually being summoned by the Necromancer King. Although, it naturally appears on Wave 23 of Polluted Wasteland II, preceding the appearance of the Necromancer King. In Polluted Wasteland II, it has a large amount of health and a slightly fast speed. It is also Stun Immune, Burn Immune and a Hidden enemy.

Appearance

The Cursed Skeleton is made entirely of blackish-purple parts that resemble a skeletal humanoid. It does not have a full torso, but instead has the bone cage for it. Its head is slightly smaller than most other enemies, and has two large glowing purple eyeholes. It also emits purple particles and the ends of its limbs are covered in a purple fluid.

It plays a bone shaking sound on death.

Strategy

• The Cursed Skeleton can be a threat due to its high health and five of them being summoned by the Necromancer King.
  • Towers like the Minigunner, Pursuit, Ranger and Accelerator can easily wipe out the Cursed Skeletons and the Necromancer King that spawned them.
  • Do note that is is a Hidden enemy, this means towers without hidden detection, like the Ranger, are far less effective against it.
• Towers that can damage multiple enemies, such as the Mortar, Electroshocker or Rocketeer can be quite useful as they can both damage the Necromancer King and the Cursed Skeletons it summons.
• Do note that you do not earn any money from the summoned Cursed Skeleton. The few naturally spawning Cursed Skeletons also give barely any cash, despite their high health.
