Shooting through water
"Skeltons can shoot arrows through water with little to no effect on their speed and accuracy"

From my experience this is not true. If a skeleton shoots upwards through 4 blocks of water, the arrow does not make it out the top of the water, but falls back down, often hitting the skeleton. At least this was shortly after the Boo! update. I will check again. Capt0z 22:40, 21 December 2010 (CST)
 * Just tested, and when a Skeleton shoots upwards through 4 blocks of water, the arrow makes it barely out of the top of the water, maybe up to a block out, before turning and heading down. But I can stay safe by sitting 2 blocks above the top of the water. Capt0z 22:49, 21 December 2010 (CST)

Bones
Skeletons, without a doubt, drop both bones AND arrows now. Stop changing it to only bones! NovaSilisko 07:59, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Has anyone actually had 3 bones dropped? I only get 1-2. Hawky133

'Behavior' subsection
Many mobs, hostile and passive, have a section which describes their behavior. This page doesn't have much in the way of that, so maybe someone could write down what they know about skeleton behavior. I will make a small start for this section, but I'm not an expert on skeletons, so feel free to edit/add. LTK 70 20:43, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Deflecting Arrows?
I have never been able to do this, and would be gladly be corrected if we get a video, or proof.-Master7432

New pic?
Can someone add a new pic of one with its arms out and with a bow?
