A skeletal miner is an undead monster. It appears on the second and 4th level of the Abandoned Mine as a corpse with the examine text "Well, at least he doesn't have to worry about getting 'black lung'." and will animate occasionally to attack passing players. It counts as a skeleton for the purpose of Slayer tasks.
