Skeleton Phantoms

The Skeleton Phantoms are among the various minions under the control of Chernabog in Night on Bald Mountain. These creatures are blindly obedient to him and will do whatever he asks them to do, even attack the living just for the fun of it. Their numbers include the spirits of hanged criminals (who pass through the noose a second time as they rise from their graves), fallen warriors in the moat and grounds of a ruined castle, and the souls of all who are not buried in sacred ground. The witches who ride on broomsticks are not ghosts, but rather living witches who strip down in preparation for Walpurgis Night.

In Ultima, the Skeleton Phantoms serve as some of the various soldiers in the Organization's Army of Darkness. Ansem controls a private selection of these phantoms for his personal army, while Dr. Facilier has control over primarily the shadow demons found within the Skeleton army.
