A Deadringer is a rare skeletal undead. In appearance it is almost indistinguishable from a more common animated skeleton. This walking dead carries small wooden-handled brass bells, that it will begin to ring continuously as soon as it becomes aware of intruders. A deadringer is most often found hidden within a group of skeletons.
If a deadringer is engaged directly in melee combat, it will use its free hand to try and touch its opponent, all the while continuing to ring its bell.
