The Minecraft Skeleton is a common hostile mob found in the Overworld, particularly in dimly lit areas and at night. It is a skeletal humanoid figure that attacks players and other mobs by shooting arrows.

Skeletons are undead creatures, making them vulnerable to certain damage types like instant health potions and resistant to others like poison. They are typically equipped with a bow and arrow and will actively pursue and fire at their target from a distance.

When defeated, Skeletons can drop bones, arrows, and occasionally their bow or armor. These items are valuable for crafting and survival. Bones can be used to create bone meal for accelerating plant growth, while arrows are essential for ranged combat.

Variations of the Skeleton exist, including Strays, which are found in snowy biomes and inflict slowness with their arrows. Skeletons can also be found riding Spiders, creating a challenging duo known as a Spider Jockey.
