The skeleton bone is one of fifteen bludgeon types used in rumbling. On subscription oceans, this bludgeon may only be used by subscribers. However, unlike most bludgeons it cannot be purchased at shipyards.

Skeleton bones are acquired by participating in a winning skellie fray. While it is not necessary to survive the fray, players who receive a bludgeon are chosen at random. The color each player receives is also random. Players may receive a tell about the bludgeon: Bony Valentine tells you, "What do ye expect to accomplish by stealing my femur?"

Due to skellie mission limitations, it can be assumed these are meant for established players and therefore the pattern is the most complicated of all available bludgeons. The skeleton bone is considered to be the "King of Bludgeons" by most players even though it does not include any bruises, simply because large consecutive attacks can easily bury the opponent in a seemingly random mix of colors which are complex and diverse.

This pattern includes every available rumble ball color in an "X" pattern, causing very difficult breaks and usually small returns from the opponent. These attacks will take a great deal of time and effort to dig out from, therefore "instakills" are common from skeleton bone users.
