Bone Flayer

Bone Flayers are diminutive skeletons which can be found throughout Tamriel.

Three Bone Flayers wearing Imperial-style armor can be found in a cave northeast of the bridge leading north out of Tanglehaven. They are guarding a keg, a heavy sack and a chest. These Bone Flayers are foot soldiers.
