Skeletons are AI-controlled enemies found in the Halloween map Helltower.
There are two types of Skeletons that can spawn: team-colored and green. While team-colored Skeletons can only inflict or receive damage from the opposite team, Green Skeletons can inflict or receive damage by either team. Team-colored Skeletons are only spawned by the players on the server using a Rare Summon Skeletons Magic Spell.
There are 3 different variants of Skeletons: Small Skeletons, Normal Skeletons, and Skeleton Kings. Normal Skeletons always spawn in numbers on every other witching hour (when the clock on the clock tower strikes midnight), alongside a single, larger Skeleton King with a greater pool of health. When killed, Normal Skeletons will cause Small Skeletons to sprout from their remains, which will continue to attack until destroyed. The Skeleton King will drop a Rare Magic Spell upon death.
If spawned through console using the command "ent_create tf_zombie" before the Scream Fortress Fifth Annual Helloween Special, the skeleton would be a random class wearing a Voodoo-Cursed Soul, with an invisible melee weapon.

Skeleton Variants
- Normal Skeletons
Every other witching hour, Normal Skeletons will spawn in numbers alongside the Skeleton King, targeting all players for attack. They will run around the battlefield, attacking nearby players until they are killed when a number of Small Skeletons will appear from their remains. Team-colored Skeletons can also be summoned by using a spell and will attack only the opposite team.
- Small Skeletons
When a Normal Skeleton is killed, a number of Small Skeletons will appear from it's remains. These skeletons have a smaller health bar but will still run through the battlefield and attack players around them. When a Small Skeleton is killed, no more will appear as a result of that skeleton.
- Skeleton King
Every other witching hour, like the Normal Skeletons, the Skeleton King will appear announced by the team's employer. The Skeleton King will act like other skeletons, running through the battlefield and attacking players. However it also acts as a boss, being considerably bigger than the other skeletons, having a greater amount of health, running faster than the normal skeletons and killing players with one hit. When it is killed, the Skeleton King will drop a rare spell.

Bugs
- Sometimes the Skeleton King will hit a player standing behind the wall or above him (eg balconies on Helltower).
- On rare occasions, the skeletons summoned by either team will sometimes freeze and won't move or attack making them useless. They can still receive damage as normal.
