Ah, it seems everyone is in need of the Rjurik Necromancer's help these
days. Right. Skelters and Zombries originated in the AD&D 1st-Edition
module SECRET OF BONE HILL. Other than the DUNGEON adventure, they've
not seen reprint in 2nd-Edition, though they may appear in the MONSTROUS
COMPENDIUM APPENDEX Vol. 4 in December. Basicly they are specially
raised skeletons and zombies, made form low-level wizards/magicians,
which are still able to cast a few spells.
As for other, non-undead creatures that may inhabit the shadow world,
I'd include Gloomwings, Shadow Mastiffs, Shadelings, Shades, Scarecrow
Golems, and possibly Negative Elementals & Fundamentals from the RETURN
TO THE TOMB OF HORRORS.
