[[Image:Mon-skeleton-king1.jpg|thumb|right|200px175px|The Black King, [[Leoric]].]]Bones of '''extraordinary''' men and women can be infinitely more powerful than any regular skeleton, and retain a significant portion of their own personality and memories, if not all of them. An example is [[King Leoric]], who was reanimated by the [[Lord of Terror]] himself, as he was not able to overtake his mind completely. Diablo still managed to corrupt Leoric's mind, which is the source of the madness he retained as an [[undead]]. Due to the power of Leoric as an entity, even defeated it was possible to summon him again, 20 years later (in [[Diablo III]]). The amount of power needed to permanently displace his spirit from this realm will be significant.
