Minecraft Dungeons:Skeleton Vanguard

Skeleton Vanguard are variants of the armored skeleton and undead hostile mobs found in Minecraft Dungeons.

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

Drops

 * Glaive
 * Emeralds
 * Soul Knife

Behavior
Skeleton Vanguards 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 Skeleton Vanguard, the player must break the shield first.
