Skeleton in Durlags Tower

In the main room when you first go in. There is an NPC skeleton that doesn't speak to you.
It doesn't do anything. If you attack it it explodes into chunks.

What is the purpose to it? Is it a BIG Spoiler here....? I killed it anyway. I hope it isn't something important.

    Pretty sure it was simply the frozen remains of a previous adventurer. There's an NPC in Ulgoth's Beard who offers a tour of the tower, and he mentions it among other things on that floor.

    Yeah, it's just part of the tour, nothing important.

    I always felt sorry for that skeleton when it got blowed up... I would always try to protect it with an otiluke's but now that seems to make it hostile...
    Anyway fun fact: It is a petrified skeleton.

    @Tresset

    You felt sorry for a skeleton and tried to protect it w/ otiluke's sphere? There is too much awsome there for me to comprehend.

    Your comment just demon-kighted into my mind and let go a fireball.

    First time I got to Durlags Tower I de-petrified it out of curiosity.

    Needless to say the skeleton wasn't very talkative even after saving his undead life.

    I used a Stone to Flesh scroll on it and it came back to life. It just sits there though. I tried talking to it and it just goes Skeleton - Has nothing to say to you. I'm like, how DARE you?! I just saved your ... undead ... life!! And this is the thanks I get?!

    EDIT: Wow ninja'd. What the hell

    If you reanimate a petrified skeleton, does that make you a necromancer?

    I don't think so. It is supposed to be just a skeleton. Not animated undead or something. Just remains of an unlucky adventurer that reminds the player that Durlag's tower does not joke around. (Being fireballed by a demonknigt on entrance level further enhances this message too!)
