Morgana, she summoned an army of the dead. They're everywhere.
Merlin to Gaius[src]

The Undead Skeletons are reanimated skeletons resurrected by the magic of the Rowan Staff. They were summoned by Morgana to aid Cenred's forces during the Great Battle for Camelot.

History[]

During the Great Battle for Camelot, Morgana snuck into the citadel's burial vault and used the Rowan Staff to resurrect an army of undead skeletons. The skeletons were meant to aid Cenred's army by forcing the Knights of Camelot to fight on two fronts, but were reduced to inert piles of bones when Merlin destroyed the Rowan Staff (The Tears of Uther Pendragon).

Characteristics[]

The undead skeletons were the skeletal remains of people buried beneath the citadel. They were reanimated by the power of the Rowan Staff and relied on its magic to function. When the Rowan Staff was destroyed, the loss of its magic immediately reduced them to inert piles of bones.

As undead creatures, the skeletons could not be killed by ordinary means. Their bodies could be dismembered by mortal weapons such as swords, but the severed limb remained under their control and would continue to attack at their behest (The Tears of Uther Pendragon).
