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.

Ignite
A combo move that is only performed if Archers, Fire Mages or other fire using enemies (Flame Atronachs, Scamps etc.) are around. The enemy throws a glob of tar under the player's feet as indicated by a red circle. While this does no damage, standing in it will snare the player. The Soldier will call for the other enemy to light the tar (usually accompanied by a voice clip) and the red circle will burn, doing moderate flame damage over time to enemies within the red circle.

Ground Fire
The enemy shoots two fireballs in the air which form two fire runes when they land. The runes do moderate flame damage over time to all enemies within the red circles and should be avoided. Players should be prepared to move as soon as the attack casts as one rune will always be cast on top of you.
