"Better him than.... wait a minute!"

Just a little question to satisfy my curiosity: have skeletons always appeared at your death spot? I just died as Wilson, got resurrected by my Meat Effigy, and there was a skeleton at the location I died at. Wilson even had something different to say about that skeleton than usual (topic title).

Now this Wilson's phrase are really interesting.

That's a feature. When you die and then resurrected, a skeleton will appear where you died. This means because you can make infinite meat effigies you can get infinite bone shards from boons (yes that's their real name)

Actually, they're generally referred to as boons because the naturally spawning skeletons appear with several items around them, and that's the boon.

They got added and I think it was a brilliant idea!
