Talk:Skeleton Horse

Skeleton trap?
This article is about a skeleton horse, but the bulk of it deals with something called a "skeleton trap" and a "skeleton trap horse" without really describing what they are. What's the difference between a trap horse and a normal horse? To find skeleton horses, do I need only to stand near a regular horse during a thunderstorm? ~ Amatulic (talk) 02:38, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Skeleton horses spawn only from skeleton traps so that's why there's a heavy focus in the article. – Nixinova Nixinova sig image 1.png Nixinova sig image 2.png 02:53, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, that's the point of my question. A "skeleton trap" is not explained. What is it? ~ Amatulic (talk) 07:39, 17 February 2019 (UTC)


 * A skeleton trap has a 1/200(?) chance to spawn in a thunder storm instead of lightning, it looks like a skeleton horse, but when approached it’ll strike (fake) lightning at its location, and replace the skeleton horse with 4 skeleton horses with skeletons with enchanted iron helmets, hostile to the player, at its location. That’s a skeleton trap. (a skeleton trap horse is as such the horse(s) from the trap.)
 * You could also just read the section named “skeleton trap”... FVbico (talk) 08:08, 17 February 2019 (UTC)


 * I had read it. That's why I asked. The section did absolutely nothing to explain what it is, what is a trap horse, how it works, how it spawns, and so forth. It was written very badly for someone new to the subject until Nixinova clarified it today.
 * So last night while I was playing, I was working on dismantling a dark oak tree when a thunderstorm came along in the evening. I went to sleep in my bed in my home base village. When I awoke the next sunny morning and went out to my animal corral, there were three skeletons wearing enchanted armor sitting around idly on skeleton horses, on the outside of the fence I installed around the village. I don't believe I did anything to cause them to appear, but there they were. I shot them, at close range, and they didn't really put up a fight. I think one of them shot at me. My flaming arrows likely prevented any of the enchanted armor from dropping; unfortunately I got none of that. One horse was destroyed, somehow. Another fell into a ravine (I have a knockback bow, and hitting the skeleton also knocked back the horse). I managed to save the third horse, and I rode it into my corral.
 * It's cool that I now have a skeleton horse, but I still don't really have any idea how it happened. All I know was, there was a thunderstorm, and the next morning I saw these guys. It's possible that I happened to get within 10 blocks of a trap horse while heading off to bed, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't near that part of the fence where I found the skeleton riders, I was on the opposite side of my village. ~ Amatulic (talk) 23:30, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
