Skeleton (Ape Atoll)

Skeletons (Ape Atoll) are found in the Ape Atoll Dungeon and are commonly killed by players for high rates of Ranged experience by using red and  grey Chinchompas. Many players also use various burst and  barrage spells to obtain great amounts of experience. Players are advised to Protect from Melee against these monsters, as they are in a multicombat area and several can attack at a time.

They are a form of Undead, meaning players can use the Crumble Undead spell to train on them, as well. Players can also equip a Salve amulet (or Salve amulet (e)), if wishing to train Melee on them. Because of this, one can potentially earn vast amounts of melee experience because the Salve amulet (e) and the Dragon 2h sword special attack can be fully utilised while fighting these.

It is worth noting that Skeletons (Ape Atoll) have the tendency of spawning from the bones they drop. To prevent an overflow of extra skeletons, they will disappear into a pile of burning bones after a short while. When they respawn, they do so with an animation of them coming out of the ground, this is unique among other monsters. The bones cannot be taken away from Ape Atoll, and when teleporting out a message appears saying 'The skeleton bones you are carrying crumble to dust'. Ashes are then left in your inventory.

The bones were not originally able to be crushed for Prayer experience by the Bonecrusher, but a small update made it possible to do so. However, it is still not recommended to crush the bones since the skeletons spawn from them.
