Overview
Poison variant of the standard skeleton, a tier-2 enemy. Bring blunt or fire weapons — it ignores chop, resists frost and pierce, and is immune to poison, so poison attacks will do nothing. It drops bone fragments and has a chance at a trophy, worth killing if you're collecting. The poison immunity is the main thing to plan around.
Tactics
Skeleton Poison is a Tier 2 undead with 100 health. It drops bone fragments and has a 10% chance for its trophy.
It is weak to blunt and fire, so a mace or club is your best melee option; fire arrows work well at range. Frost and pierce are resisted, so frost weapons and standard bows underperform. Poison is immune — poison arrows or a poison weapon do nothing. Chop and pickaxe damage are ignored entirely.
In melee, it dies quickly to a few blunt hits. Keep your shield up if you are closing in, and do not let it dictate the pace — it is slow to turn, so circle it. At range, fire arrows will out-damage pierce arrows against it. Frost arrows are a waste here.
The trophy is only worth chasing if you want the decoration; otherwise, treat this as a source of bone fragments. It is not tamable.
