Notes

  • Approximately slightly above lava level, a larger and more powerful version of Armored Skeletons can spawn. It is called "Heavy Skeleton" internally.
  • Armored Skeletons are one of two sources of Armor Polish before having defeated Plantera, the other is Shimmer transmutation with Vitamins.

Trivia

  • Armored Skeletons appear to be wearing a bluer variation of the Ancient Cobalt Breastplate with spiked shoulder guards.
  • The Heavy Skeleton variant is one of the few enemies whose health does not increase in Expert or Master Mode. Because of this, their health is actually considerably lower than the regular armored skeleton in the latter, and comparable in the former.
  • The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Armored Skeleton: "Remnants of a long lost expeditionary force, these stout warriors mindlessly patrol the caves in which they died."
