A stray is a skeleton variant that can be found within the Creeping Winter DLC of Minecraft Dungeons.

Behavior[]
- Bow action
Strays behave the same as normal skeletons, but they shoot arrows that inflict the Freezing effect which will slow the hero down for a short time.
- Walk
Strays flee when the hero gets near.
- Novelty
Strays have a rare behavior when idle, in which they spin their skull rapidly as if playing with their heads. They have a sound file named "novelty spin" that plays when this behavior occurs.
