Skeletilles

Skeletilles are a fictional species appearing in the "Amulet" graphic novel series by Kazu Kibuishi. They are a type of automaton, or mechanical being, that serves the antagonist, the Shadow King. Skeletilles are characterized by their skeletal appearance, hence their name, and are typically depicted as being made of dark metal. They possess a mechanical nature, functioning without the need for biological sustenance or rest.

These automatons are often used by the Shadow King and his followers as enforcers and soldiers. They are capable of combat, wielding various weapons and exhibiting a degree of strength and resilience. While they do not possess individual personalities or emotions, they are programmed to follow commands and carry out their assigned tasks with efficiency. Their numbers are often significant, posing a considerable threat to the protagonists, Emily and Navin. The design of the Skeletilles emphasizes their cold, unfeeling, and dangerous nature, contributing to the overall atmosphere of the "Amulet" series. They represent a constant, mechanical opposition to the organic and emotional characters of the story.
