Minecraft Dungeons:Skeleton Vanguard

Elite Skeleton's are variants of the armored skeletons and undead hostile mobs found in Minecraft Dungeons.

Spawning
In default difficulty, they only spawn within the Desert Temple. They spawn with a glaive, and a unique helmet and shield. They are mainly seen serving The Nameless One, who summons waves of Elite Skeletons in his boss fight.

Drops

 * Glaive
 * Emeralds
 * Soul Knife

Behavior
Elite Skeletons immediately chase players once seen or alerted by another mob. When close enough, they either stab or slash the player with blades. The shield serves as extra health as it absorbs the first attack. To damage the Elite Skeleton, you must break the shield first.
