The Wither Skeleton is the demonic version of the regular skeleton in the Minecraft Franchise.

Description[]

Wither Skeletons are demonic as they originate in the Nether, giving them charcoal black bones. Wither Skeletons are very hostile when approached and are super hard to beat without a ranged weapon. The structure is similar to the overworld skeleton but is much more taller in size, meaning it towers over the player. The Wither Skeleton 99% of the time wields a large stone sword that does massive dame when on contact with the player.

Powers and Ability[]

Note Wither Skeletons may look like regular skeletons but are taller and more dangerous than the regular, and shares very few weaknesses.

Powers[]

  • Stone Sword: Wither Skeletons have a large stone sword that drains the player to half a heart and sometimes has a deadly potion effect on the player when attacking.
  • Fire Resistance: Wither Skeletons are impervious to fire, lava, and any other flaming object since they do originate in the Nether.
  • Poison Resistance: Since Wither Skeletons are undead demonic monsters, they take no damage from poison and instant damage potions as the potions only heal them.
  • Wither Skeleton Horse Jockey: Wither Skeletons have a incredibly rare chance of spawning on rare unspawnable mobs under the right settings, adding a bigger challenge.
  • Bow and Arrow: Wither Skeletons will very rarely spawn with bow and arrows like its regular counterpart.

Weakness[]

  • Splash Potion of Instant Healing: Wither Skeletons, like regular skeletons, take damage from healing potions and will be killed eventually after having too much.
  • Water Drowning: Wither Skeletons can drown if under water for far to long, strangely.
