Skull enemy line

The Curse Skull, Haunt Skull, Shield Skull, Dark Skull, and Whisper Skull are enemies that are battled in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. These monsters, resembling skulls cloaked in a glowing aura, are palette swaps of each other that have differing levels of power and defense and are fought in different locations in the games. The Curse, Haunt, and Shield Skulls appear exclusively during the boss battle with Sludge in Phantasmal Bog, as monsters Sludge may summon with its Call Skull enemy ability. The Dark Skull and Whisper Skull are among the many monsters spawned by the Grave Eclipse.
