Skeleton

The Skeleton spawns in the Cavern layer and rarely in the Underground layer if the Cavern layer is within 50ft. It follows the Fighter AI, and can open doors. Unlike Zombies, they do not require a Blood Moon to do so.

Skeletons are immune to the Poisoned debuff.

The skeleton is one of the two mobs that drop the Hook (the other of which is the Piranha), which is used to create the Grappling Hook. The drop chance is 4%, or 1/25

The graphics of a skeleton resemble flesh, oddly enough, as skeletons arn't supposed to have flesh.
