Armored Skeletons are slightly rarer and stronger variants of the normal skeleton found in Minecraft Dungeons.
Appearance
The armored skeleton resembles the normal skeleton but is slightly taller than average. They noticeably have more health due to their armor. They have two variants, one with a power bow and one with regular bow. They also wear reinforced mail, which can appear wearing either both helmet and chestplate or just helmet. In the Minecraft Dungeons Arcade game, a third variant spawns exclusively there where they instead use Daggers for melee attacks.
