The Golden Skeleton, also called "Brass Skeleton", is a heavy armoured skeleton. They rust up when exposed to water which slows their movements and attacks, making it easier to take them down.

This is a metal skeleton character that I modeled for Sea of Thieves. I did the Zbrush sculpt, retopo and normal maps. The textures were created by Magdalena Dobreva - https://www.artstation.com/magi_d

The bones under the gold or the initial proportions of all skeletons in the game were created by Ben Siddons - https://www.artstation.com/bensiddons
