A common undead hostile mob in Minecraft. Skeletons spawn in the Overworld when the light level is zero (since 1.18 update), or in the Nether's soul sand valley biome. They shoot the player with good accuracy. They drop arrows and bones upon death, sometimes bows with random durability.
Like zombies and phantoms, skeletons also burn under the sunlight. But they will seek for nearby water source or any shaded places.
