Appearance[]
Skeletons in Minecraft Dungeons are different in color from their original counterparts, with their bones being marble-colored and parts near its legs or joints being darker.
Behavior[]
Skeletons harm the player by shooting arrows from bows at a distance. They flee when the player gets near.
Unlike base game counterpart, they shooting arrows normally underwater without being slowed down by water.
Skeletons have a rare behavior when idle, in which they spin their skull rapidly as if playing their heads. They have a sound file named "novelty spin" that plays when this behavior occurs. They have 10% more HP than the zombie but their damage is less than half.
