Note: this article deals with the bonespur type of undead creature. For the NPC of that name, see Bonespur.

A bonespur is a type of undead animated by skull lords and spellcasters to do their bidding. Bonespurs are animated columns of bones that attack via bone scythes, although they can change into a rhinoceros-like form for charging or bull rushing opponents. Though bonespurs have animal level intelligence, they show no special will to keep themselves living at the cost of destroying their foes. Thus, a bonespur will gleefully end its life running off a cliff to bull rush a foe.^[1]

A bonespur can be created by a spellcaster of at minimum 8th level with a create undead spell cast upon six Medium size corpses or the equivalent.^[2]
