History
In 2020wr, when during the first few years of the Calamity event, Skelytons would begin rising from their graves. When risen, they believed they are still normal, and would begin trying to re-enter society. While they would not truly be accepted, most towns and cities would accept them solely because they could help fend off the Slaad, since they didn't see the Skelytons as something worth their time at the moment. They would earn their place in most civilized societies, usually be helping fight monsters and doing labor for the citizens.
