[[Image:Injured_villager_talks_to_Wizard.jpg|right|thumb|[[Wizard]] talks to [[Injured Villager]], who starts The Skeleton King [[quest]].]]
'''The Skeleton King''' is a quest that was available in the [[BlizzCon 2008]] demo.
A bit further along in the Cathedral, the player finally finds King Leoric's throne room. When the player gives the crown back on the king, his ghost is summoned to the bones and he is reanimated. He laughs menacingly and Skeletons start to emerge from the sides. The player now has to keep away from skeletons and King Leorics huge mace as well as damaging and killing the boss.
==Reward==
The quest in the full game will probably give some nice reward, but in the demo, players were rewarded with the message that they had completed the BlizzCon demo.
==Background==
This quest is reminiscent of the {{iw|The_Butcher the Butcher quest}} in Diablo I; both are given to the player by a dying villager encountered just outside the Tristram Cathedral.
That little [[Easter Egg]] might have been just for the Blizzcon demo; it's unknown how the quest will be presented in the final game.

==Video==
Leoric's reanimation and the subsequent battle can be seen from just after the Crown was used to awaken him, in the following YouTube video.
