An armored skeleton is a slightly rare and stronger type of skeleton found in Minecraft Dungeons.
Appearance
Armored skeletons resemble unarmored skeletons, but are 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 a longbow. 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 melee weapons for melee damage.
