Description: Bone Cages are the awful result of mistakes made in attempts to animate the dead: perhaps a student was careless, or a dark Priest misspoke an incantation, or maybe too many Undead were going to be created at once. Whatever the reason, the result is often a Bone Cage - a huge, haphazard collection of random bones that is nasty, stupid, and desires only to create as much destruction as possible. These beasts usually begin their existence by slaying their creators and then escaping into the wilds, shambling and creeping across the landscape, while crushing anything they encounter. Fortunately, they are not very intelligent and even evil priests often want to dispose of them. However, there are rumors that a hidden group of mad Priests and magic-users have begun to create these creatures to worship the havoc that they create.
