A Skeleton is a very common hostile mob that shoots arrows and drops 0-2
bones,
0-2 arrows, and or a bow (most likely used, but sometimes enchanted)
upon death. They are the primary ranged mob the player encounters. Skeletons are
currently only one of two mobs that drop bones, the other being a wither
skeleton.
Like zombies, they spawn in darkness and burn in
sunlight. Both skeletons and zombies seek shade so that they don't burn in the
daylight. When a Skeleton's arrow hits another hostile mob (with the exception
of creepers), the other mob will attack the
skeleton. Skeletons themselves will also turn on any other hostile mobs that hit
them, including other skeletons
