Spooky scary skeletons send shivers down your spine~ 
Another one of my attempts at finding new uses and ideas for existing WC3 icons... and this time my tool of creation is the Necronomicon, apparently
We're raising the dead, but now - in all sorts of shapes and sizes! Since there are a load of skeletal units in the game and all of them share only 4 icons (no, I do not count recolors of the orc skeleton as different icons, come on), I thought it would be a good idea to make several more~
Happy Halloween!~

| Icon | Description | Icon | Description | Icon | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lesser Pawn A raw, unarmored skeleton created from the body of a foe fallen to a Dark Arrow. | 
| Skeleton An ordinary undead rised from a dead body by the nearest Necromancer. (Default W3 icon) | 
| Orc Skeleton An orc risen from the dead. As you can see, his skeleton is just as wide as the original. (Default W3 icon) |
| Dark Pawn A battle-ready servant ressurected with a Cursed Dark Arrow. | 
| Skeleton Archer A skeleton with a bow and some arrows! It looks very surprized. Why is it staring at you?.. | 
| Orc Grunt Skeleton An orc skeleton with some armor on. If you thought that orc bones are green too, you were... <inconclusive> |
| Greater Pawn An armored warrior ready to serve your will! Created via death from an Unholy Dark Arrow. | 
| Skeleton Mage A skeleton that can raise other skeletons?.. THEY'RE MULTIPLYING?! (Default W3 icon) | 
| Orc Champion Skeleton This orc skeleton is bigger and stronger than other orc skeletons! Can it beat the Skeleton Giant?! |
| Legion Pawn An expendable war force at the hands of the Burning Legion. | 
| Legion Archer A skeleton archer dressed in legion symbolics. (Default W3 icon) | 
| Giant Skeleton A huge skeleton of... well, presumably a Giant. Some of them are simply constructed from multiple bodies, like Constructs. |
| Legion Soldier A regular undead soldier of the legion army. Its fangs contain some sort of venom... Or is it a certain disease? | 
| Legion Sniper A single-target longbow warrior of the legion. Can hit its target with a bone arrow from a bone arrow distance, whatever that is. | 
| Giant Skeleton Mutant A skeleton of a humanoid create of unknown origin. Was it always like this?.. |
| Legion Vanguard A melee skeletal warrior standing at the from of the legion army of undead! It's heavy armor combined with the necromantic magic make it almost unstoppable. | 
| Legion Captain This armored ranged skeleton has a crossbow! An undead spooky crossbow of demons, given to it by the legion. | 
| Giant Skeleton Overlord Also known as the Cemetery Lord, this gigantic pile of bones rules the nearby bone piles. And it's most certainly not a human... |
| Legion Mage An undead skeletal spellcaster - an embodiment of dark magic. | 
| Legion Grunt Some say this is what happens to Fel Orcs after they die... Poor things... | 
| Eskeletor I̛̼̭̹̦͔̬͙͠t͟͏̪ ̶̛͙̦̝̭̦̳w̴̥͕͓̖̰̩͠a̬̪̯͎͇̬̟͟͡s̩̗͘ͅ ͕̟͈̘n҉̨̞͉̲̰̞̗ḛ͚̬̪̕͡v̵̢̙͈e̶̜͚͖̹͖͎͕̮͖͟ŕ҉͔͕̤̲ͅ ̲͙͉̲͍̯͙̬͎m҉͠͏̠̟̲e͏̵̼͈a͈͚͙̞͔̭n̷͇̕t̠̲̟̙͞ ̺̹͎͕͓͞t̡̯͈͞o͇̳ ̸̸̛̙̞̮̬̦̝̮b̹͚̪̕e̬̻̻͜ ̷̙̞̫̬̥͕̕͝t̶̘̖͎́h̶̬̘̳̠i̛͙̱̙̣̳̳ś̥̹͈̗̟̱̭̫̗͜ ̞̲̼̟̻̱̤̖͡͡w͙̮̖̪̳̮̜á̪y̠͕̭͟.̛͔̼̘́.̣̦.͖͖͓͖̤̝̮͔̰ |
| Legion Sorcerer A walking demon-fueled necromancy spell that can cast spells of its own... | 
| Legion Brute And armored orc warrior, with the same fury, but no longer the same will. | 
| Morteskeletor This is not how you handle human remains... |
| Legion Archmage A powerful being with its own mind, that can't be produced by any necromancy spell. This once alive archmage took this turn on its own... | 
| Legion Champion This giant orc was raised by Legion Necromancers... I can only imagine how much mana is could take... | 
| Eskeleron What's left of us. The soul is still here, forced to haunt its own body. The slits for the eyes aren't there by design - they're by its own making. |
Happy Halloween!~

The Dark Pawn icons were made for the W3's dark pawn skeletons (all of which use the default skeleton model), the Archer, regular Giant and 2 Orc Skeleton icons are also for the vanilla warcraft units too, the rest are just my imagination, so they don't have an according modelWhere can I find the MDX models of the icons? Please.

If I have enough motivation, might just go around hive and look for skeletons in need of an icon~What about skeleton merchant?
Come to think of it, I forgot to make one for vanilla Skeleton Sniper and the Fire Skeleton (or whatever it's called in english)...

I think it is called Burning Archer, but its just recolored stock one skeleton, however we do have hidden model of skeleton archer having flame on the skull just like ghost rider

Perhaps but it has fire FX unlike the frost one.
