Minecraft (Pocket Edition)
Skeleton
Obtaining
Skeletons are found throughout Minecraft. They are a Hostile Mob creature. They can be killed with any block, though most efficiently with a Bow and Arrow or a Sword.
Skeletons spawn where light levels are too low or when it becomes night. They are also sometimes found in Dungeons as the result of a Skeleton Spawner.
Usage / Purpose
When killed they produce Bones or Arrows. They have no other use.
Drops / Yields
When killed they produce Bones and/or Arrows. Skeletons burn up in direct sunlight, unless they are submerged in water as in the above image.
Notes
Skeletons are available in both Survival Mode (as a naturally spawning creature), or in Creative Mode as a Spawn Skeleton Egg.
Skeletons attack from a distance with Arrows, which makes them difficult to get near. If another creature gets in between you and a Skeleton it is likely they will take damage from the Skeleton's Arrow attack.
