Skeleton Warriors is a 13-episode cartoon series created by Landmark Entertainment Group, which originally aired in 1994 on CBS.

Baron Dark, the show's main villain, tried to steal the crystal in order to gain control over its incredible power.

Each episode involves Prince Lightstar, his siblings and Baron Dark attempting to obtain the other half of their respective crystals in order to gain control over the planet.

He greatly frustrates the Baron by displaying the clear limits to his power: a person of good heart cannot be turned into a skeleton warrior.

Talyn is a fierce warrior, a gracious princess, a caring soul, and an unwavering defender of the righteous.

After the struggle which shattered the Lightstar Crystal, she was granted the power of flight and managed to reconcile Justin and Joshua.

Her later exploits include finding a way to actually restore skeleton warriors to the flesh – by removing the "heart gems" that appear after the transformation.

He is a skilled combatant who leads from the front, as well as a highly competent scientist designing various weapons and armor for the Legion of Light's members.

He is obsessed with defeating the Legion of Light and taking control of both halves of the Lightstar Crystal, thereby granting absolute power for himself.

Self-created in his demented laboratory, Dr. Cyborn grafted bionic parts to his own body after a near-fatal accident.

An arachnid-like creature possessing six arms before being turned into a Skeleton Warrior, Aracula speaks almost entirely of grunts, screeches, and other animal-like sounds.

The cartoon also spawned a toyline created by Playmates Toys, a comic book limited series created by Marvel Comics, 6 episode novelisations, a 1996 annual, a board game, a TCG and the Skeleton Warriors video game for the Sega Saturn and PlayStation consoles developed by Neversoft and published by Playmates Interactive.
