Appearance
Skeleton vanguards are a desert variant of the skeleton that are tasked in both protecting the Desert Temple and the Nameless One. They are seen wearing an iron chestplate, a leather belt around its waist, and an iron helmet with a brown stripe near the base and a gold stud in the middle. It wields a unique-shaped shield that's made of wood and has golden sides with an iron patch on the middle. It is also seen wielding a glaive which it uses for attacks.

Behavior
Skeleton Vanguards immediately chase players once seen or alerted by another mob. When close enough, they stab the player with their glaives. The shield serves as extra health as it absorbs the first attack. To damage the Skeleton Vanguard, the player must break the shield first. The Skeleton Vanguard has a longer attack reach than most other mobs, so they can hit players from further away. This long attack reach also allows them to take down allies more easily (like the wolf, who can't touch them because of this glaive).
