Skaldor is a skeleton boss in the Desert Tomb. He appears as a normal skeleton except for the fact that he has red eyes. He spawns with a dagger, short sword, long sword or silver dagger and is capable of dealing 50+ damage with just 1 attack. Due to being able to use a silver dagger, Skaldor might have a dagger skill of at least 30. Skaldor spawns with 6 normal skeletons and 3 skeleton wolves. He has the ability to cast fear without the use of the scroll. (If his eyes appear as a deep glowing red, it will happen) He is also capable of using a shield of terror, meaning he has a shield skill of at least level 35. Skaldor is the second hardest boss to kill after lich. You will see that he has a really high life skill and defense and he is pretty challenging even against OP players.
