Description

The ribs of a scrabbling ribcage are connected to either a sternum or vertebral column, but not both, allowing the ribs to function as legs.

Commonly mistaken for undead, animated bones are mindless constructs with no connection to necromancy. The following are examples of typical animated bones.
