I was shocked, too.
I was wondering about that - since they're only sort-of "there," I wonder if they're a creation of the Rani's. In "Unleashed" they talked about how the bones of the bone palace are largely based on birds...they played it off as simply being designed that way because they look cool, but...is there some significance?
Another thing about Conrad: they did an interesting job portraying him as a victim in his own right, with Mrs. Flood still serving as his jailor, and, sort of creepily, as a mother figure.
The skeleton walkers did initially give me vibes of the cybermen ghosts of 10's run. They're not quite there, but everyone can see and acknowledge them, and they seem to be bleeding in from another reality.
