The Dead
- "That's kinda disrespectful to the dead is it not?!"
- ―Natalie, Epic Battle Fantasy 3
The Dead is a Poison-elemental skill in the Epic Battle Fantasy series, used primarily by foes or through items or special effects of equipment. It is one of the few skills whose type varies between games.
Description
When cast, the ground splits open, disgorging several skeletons and toxic bubbles from beneath the target(s), inflicting damage and Poisoning them.

Notes: Power is 33 when cast by foes, 70 when cast with Green Potion and 112 when cast with Green Potion and the user has Life Shaver (sword) equipped. Like Meow Meow, ignores user's Attack stat and any bonuses to it, instead using the user's level * 3 formula to get a value to multiply the skill's power by. Also ignores Accuracy buffs and equipment bonuses to it, yet still considers the base stat and the bonus from permanent stat food, Lollipop.
