Could someone go through and make this page look better? I don't really know much of the formatting.--Minecraftdino 13:43, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
Why Enderman Skeletons?
I noticed that the trivia suggests that these are Endermen skeletons, but it doesn't seem right. The dimensions of the limbs are off, and Endermen don't use swords while living. I'm going to remove it until this is proven, if it even can be. - DarkAuk 00:12, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
Yes they are tall, and dark colored. But that is they have in common. They are more like the zombie pigman equivalent to Skeletons. --Minecraftdino 00:45, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
Spawning
The page says that the skeletons spawn in fortresses, but I have yet to see one. Can anyone confirm this? 98.159.27.28 00:20, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
The only place I've seen them is nether fortresses. And I've seen a few. --Minecraftdino 00:34, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
- Is it the fortress that they spawn in or netherbrick or something else? In other words, does the game count fortresses as its own "territory" like a biome or village or can player made structures also spawn wither skeletons?--198.40.29.7 13:43, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
It's the position, just like blazes. Building a house or removing the nether brick will not affect it. HotdogPi Come to my page! 23:50, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
I've seen three in the same fortress. I have not seen them in any other place (but another nether fortress) --Spy227X 00:14, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
When I went further out and found a Nether Fortress in previously unspawned chunks I saw quite a few Wither Skeleton's spawn. However at my old Nether Fortress (previous to installing the snapshot) I don't see them spawn at all. Anyone else see this? 72.179.6.116 00:01, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
- I'll confirm this, I goofed around in a previously generated Nether Fortress(NF) one night and never saw one. Later, I found an unknown NF and they were all over place, about half the rate of ZPM. A work around would be to evacuate the Nether, exit the game and delete(or rename) the "DIM-1" folder in your save folder so the next time you enter everything is reset its regenerated fresh.

Swimming Bug
If you make a 1x3x1 fully sealed space (3 tall), spawn a wither skeleton inside, and place water or lava in the middle (or bottom?) it will swim up until its head is inside the ceiling, and it will suffocate inside it. Cultist O 03:16, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
