Skeleton Horses (or Skeletal Horses) are mobs that were first added to PC in 1.6. They are passive mobs that can be ridden only by one way (below).
Appearance[]
Skeleton horses do not have a flesh, but are covered with bones in all their body.
Skeleton Trap[]
Skeleton Traps are a kind of a trap for the player. Here's how it works:
- While raining, a skeleton horse will spawn, doing nothing but just walking around.
- If the player approaches it, automatically a skeleton will spawn riding the horse.
- 3 other skeleton horses and skeletons riding them will spawn too and will attack the player.
Notes
- The skeleton horses will not attack, only the skeletons with their bows.
- The skeletons will wear an enchanted iron helmet and will hold an enchanted bow too.
Taming[]
A skeleton horse can be tamed by killing the skeleton that is riding the horse. Then, the player will be able to tame it. A saddle is required, too.
Withers[]
Skeleton horses, unlike other mobs, have a unique reaction to Withers. If a horse is alive, a Wither will attack it. But if the horse is a skeleton horse, the wither will not attack at all. This is due to their "undead" status.
