This guide is designed for players eager to learn everything about mobs. Here, I will provide information on the wither skeletons in Minecraft PE
The wither skeleton is classified as a hostile mob (it attacks players who come within its line of sight).
The wither skeleton is a hostile mob found in the Nether, specifically residing in fortresses. It closely resembles a skeleton (previously detailed in another guide – Skeleton [Mobs][Guides Minecraft PE]), differing mainly in weaponry, size, and color. The wither skeleton wields a sword, has a black coloration, and stands slightly taller than a skeleton. It is immune to fire and does not fear daylight.
Engaging this mob in combat can be challenging. When it attacks, it inflicts the “Withering” effect on you, moves quickly, and cannot be defeated without proper preparation.
A few facts:
- Wither skeletons ignite in sunlight but take no damage from fire.
- If a wither skeleton acquires a bow, it will definitely shoot flaming arrows.
