[[Undead ]] or not, those axes are heavy, and the executioners drag them behind, leaving a trail of sparks. They only pick up the axes when they are about to use them, and they use both arms to deliver vicious overhead chops with their weapons. Their attack rate is fairly slow, and if you can dodge their first swipe you can almost always finish them off before they can take a second one.

[[Image:Mon-skeletal-executioner1.jpg|left|thumb|Executioners.]]Skeletal executioners have a short range charge attack that they finish with a devastating chop of their axes. Being hit by one won't actually kill a character in a single blow, but it's quite painful.   As with many undead, it's usually possible to avoid the hits quite easily against one, but when they stack up, the threat becomes more significantly. Try to keep your back free ant take them out one by one, or use some [[AoE]] damage to kill many at once, while still not being swarmed. <!--===Spells and Abilities===--> <!--===Known X Types===Use on a "family" monster article.* Can be used in "Goatman" or the like* Display the different types of enemies, like weapon/equipment carried, or behaviour difference.* Example: Warrior, Archer, Mage--><!--===Known Subtypes===Use on a a "family" monster article, or a "sub-family" monster article.* Can be used in "Goatman" or the like* Can be used in "Goatman Shaman" or the like* Use for things like clan/colouring of same type of enemy* Example: Moon Clan, Blood Clan, Death Clan--> ===Related Monsters===* [[Skeleton]]* [[Skeletal Archer]]* [[Skeletal Executioner]]* [[Skeletal Shieldman]]* [[Skeletal Summoner]] <!--===Famous Monsters===List any "character" monster, such as King Leoric for skeletons and the Butcher for Overlords.--> ==Background==Skeletal Executioners are just regular [[Skeleton]]s with great axes.
