Wither Skeletons are hostile mobs that are found in the new Minecraft Dungeons DLC Flames of the Nether.

Behavior

Wither Skeletons will run up to the player incredibly fast and hit them with their sword, dealing melee damage, and inflicting a wither effect which deals a bit of additional damage over time. Unlike in the base game, they also have a ranged variant that wields a Red Snake. After hitting, they kite their target similiar to Baby Zombies by retreating for a short time before rushing again. They are also capable of sensing players even with the Shadow Form.

Trivia

  • Unlike in normal Minecraft, wither skeletons and piglins don't seem to attack each other.
  • Wither skeletons are not immune to lava unlike that in the base game.
  • Wither skeletons in Minecraft Dungeons are shown to be much faster then they are in base game, running even faster then the player character.
  • Wither Skeletons are seen holding a blackstone sword variant. This weapon is uniquely exclusive to it, and goes by the name NetherSword in the files.
  • Their texture is based on pre-1.14 textures unlike some other mobs in Minecraft Dungeons.
