[[Skeletron]] is the boss that guards a world's [[dungeon]]. If one tries to enter a dungeon before killing Skeletron, after a short moment the head of the boss will come spinning and growling into the screen, impacting with the player and causing 9999 damage, effectively one-hit killing the intruder. To summon this boss, you must talk to the Old Man at the entrance to the dungeon at night. The man will transform into the Skeletron. If you attempt this at day, he will simply say "Come back at night if you wish to enter" or "I cannot let you enter until you free me of my curse".

Skeletron will try to swing his arms at you and ram you. He has 6000 health points, so it is not a good idea for lower-end players to attempt to defeat this monster. He must also be defeated before the break of dawn; all players will instantly die if he is still alive at that point.

The best way on defeating skeletron on your own is gaining at least [[Shadow Armor]] and a good weapon such as [[Ball O' Hurt]] as it can hit multiple times and has good range. When you start the fight your best bet is to get ontop of the roof where its flat or flattern it before so you have high ground alot of space to move and no zombies or eyes spawning to attack you. Once ontop you want to target his hands first while aiming for the head hitting it as much as possible while taking out the hands as this renders him useless. Remember to always heal frequently when fighting him as he has many anoying attacks which are hard to dodge suck as his head spin attack. Once the arms are gone the fight is really easy as he turns into a [[Eye of Chtulhu]] ( Technically ) as all he does is fly around and spin his head at you.
