Skeleton

Skeletons are enemies that spawn in the Cavern layer. They follow the Fighter AI, and can open doors. Unlike Zombies, they do not require a Blood Moon to do so. They can drop a Hook (crafting material) which is essential for crafting a Grappling Hook, though other Hooks can be acquired through other means.

Skeletons are immune to the Poisoned debuff.

They can also be spawned by powering a Skeleton Statue.

In Expert Mode, some skeletons throw bones which deal 2x their base melee damage (also multiplied by 2 due to it being expert mode, making the damage 4x the normal mode base damage as shown below).
