A bonethief is a skeletal creature that is able to wear the skins of people in order to appear human. At a glance, possessed humans appear normal, but they quickly move to attack the player. Once the human host takes enough damage, the bonethief will burst from the body, having a very negative effect on the player character's sanity. They are vulnerable at the neck, and once exposed may be quickly dispatched by targeting the head. If given the opportunity, they will attempt to possess the player, causing instant death if not shaken off in time. In some cases they possess zombies.

Like most creatures, bonethieves vary based on alignment. Chattur'gha Bonethieves are a bit stronger and more resilient than the others. Xel'lotath Bonethieves lack a head, the usual weakpoint, making them more difficult to kill. Ulyaoth Bonethieves are crystalline in appearance, but have no special abilities compared to the others
