History YMMV / SkeletonWarriors

* WhatAnIdiot: Baron Dark left a data crystal for Grimskull to take. Naturally, Grimskull and the gang are suspicious, and yet they still decide to play its content... in front of the whole council so everyone can watch. It reveals that Grimskull betrayed the royal family and has caused the fall of the kingdom. Needless to say, the council was angry and turned on Grimskull. You think they would have been wise enough to play it in private before their big meeting.

* StrippedToTheBone: The fate of Baron Dark and all his minions, and a rare example of this trope as a compelling - if hardly positive - fate, as those returned to humanity will typically plead with the baron to re-skeletonise them.
* SurvivorGuilt: Ferris, the sole survivor of his unit in episode 3, is so tortured by the experience that his self-hatred gives him enough inner darkness for Baron Dark to skeletonise him, which was previously suggested to only be possible with overtly depraved personalities: what really seems to matter is how the victim perceives themself.

* Baron Dark's fate: Lightstar throws him into a lava pit, which no doubt destroyed his heartstone, meaning Dark turned back into a human and burned to death submerged in lava.

* NightmareFuel: Grimskull, oh god; partially corrupted by the same dark energy that transformed Baron Dark, he is left a hideous-looking living corpse, a zombie-like creature who is alienated from both humans and Skeleton Warriors. Worse, he has a PsychicLink with Baron Dark, which the Baron can use to reach out and take control of him from miles away if Grimskull lets his guard slip.

* CompleteMonster: The suitably-named [[BigBad Baron Dark]] was an [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitious nobleman]] who hungered to steal the Lightstar Crystal powering the lands of Luminaire. Dark arranged for the king's shuttle to crash in hostile territory, and manipulated his younger son Joshua into going for the Lightstar Crystal himself before attempting to steal it. Its energies made the Baron's evil manifest fully as he became the first [[AntagonistTitle Skeleton Warrior]], an immortal living dead creature who transformed all his forces into the same. The Baron attacked Luminaire's civilians and upon discovering he could only turn evil people into Skeletons, Dark furiously ordered the rest of the population murdered, only relenting when one of his men reminded him they'd need slaves. Dark would force a population's compliance by starving them and withholding medicine to force them to do his bidding, attempted to wipe out the ape-like Semigons to steal their refinery, and once he gained the Lightstar Crystal himself, Dark attempted to remake the world into a hellish landscape where only his chosen Skeleton Warriors would survive.
