__NOTOC__ | {{LineageInfobox|image=DreadSkull.png}}__NOTOC__ | ||
A floating skull and spinal column animated via terrible necrotic and psychic energy, the Dread Skull uses powerful psychic attacks to render foes useless. It can also make punishing attacks by whipping its spine about. | |||
While a Dread Skull can be created with dark rituals, it can also self-propagate: anyone killed by a Dread Skull risks becoming one, their skull and spine separating from their [[skeleton]] and wriggling out of their body. | |||
