“	“These unsettling ropes with skull for heads reside in the Dark World, Ruins, and Lorule. In some dungeons, pulling the wrong lever can sometimes release a den of them.”
	— Encyclopedia

A skullrope is a mere rope revived into undeath and empowered with dark necrotic magic. They are sometimes employed by evil mages, and are most abundantly found in dungeons and ruins within the Dark World. Despite their undead nature, skullropes retain much of the instincts and behavior of living ropes.
     Undead Nature. The skullrope does not require air, food, water, or sleep.
     Environment: Ruins
