A skeleton vanguard is an armored variant of the skeleton and is an undead hostile mob found in Minecraft Dungeons. It also wears the vanguard armor.

Spawning

Appearance

Skeleton vanguards are a desert variant of the skeleton that are the protectors of the Desert Temple and the bodyguards of the MCD: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

Walk

A skeleton vanguard immediately chases the hero once seen or alerted by another mob.

Attack

When close enough, it stabs the hero with its glaive. The shield serves as extra health as it absorbs the first attack. To damage the skeleton vanguard, the hero must break the shield first. The skeleton vanguard has a longer attack reach than most other mobs, so it can hit heroes from further away. Their long attack reach also allows them to take down targets more easily, such as the wolf, who can't touch them because of the glaive.
