I turned my Skele-Wolf on Second Life into a Ghost Wolf with cool glowy animated smoke flowing around the skeleton in the shape of what the "body" would be if it were a living, flesh-and-blood canine. The fur is given an ethereal, semitransparent glowy look as well to add to the eerie ghostly creepitude. And all the sound effects for actions are still echoey and super ghostly/creepy. Anyone who I gave a Skele wolf to, just let me know and I will get you the Ghost wolf version that is so much cooler and better :3

Its so amazingly fun to play with the coloring on the ghostly bits and the skeleton and the eye glow, I made a black-boned fiery hellhound type one and an unholy purple-with-green-eyes monster out of Warcraft or something with it. Recoloring is menu based and easy. Look for me ingame if you want to see it :D
