how can skeleton monsters move if they dont have muscles and joints?

[DeadwastePrime]

they should fall apart because there'd be nothing holding up their bones

The answer to this in the early elder scrolls games was to have it as necromancers binding together bones with leather straps. Then when the spells were cast to animate them, well, it was just magic force that pushed around their bones. There's not really any way to justify skelly movement besides that I think.

 

[Hen in a tie]

They believe in themselves, thus able to accomplish anything!

How dare you disparage skeletons like that. Apologize.

 

[Slumber Crasher]

They're moved and held together by ghosts

Obligatory image:

What keeps Ashley Isaacs and her kin together? Magic and Spite!

no. i will double down on my statement on saying that even magic shouldnt be able to make skeletons move about. they'd be rigid, and unable to hold weapons

 

[Beetlejuice Green]

The real question is, how do fleshies stand up straight without any bones? Unless...

this thread is triggering, my mother was a skeleton

Probably because autism or some shit.

I was going to say magic, but it seems to be already said, uh, very tiny slugs that are clear and you can't see acting as muscles.

The spooky energy keeps their bones a rattlin'

 

[Inklings]

The mystery is what makes them so spooky.

 

[Doug_Hitzel]

Midichlorians.

Explain that to the skelly army coming for you right now bitch.

 

[FemalePresident]

How is he able to do that without lungs?!

 

[Varg Did Nothing Wrong]

A better question is why do slashing and stabbing weapons in Elder Scrolls games work fine for killing skellies
