💀 Dangerous Skeleton

The Dangerous Skeleton is an upgraded version of the regular Skeleton in Stardew Valley. It spawns in the Mines once the Shrine of Challenge is activated after completing Mr. Qi’s quest “Danger in the Deep.” Compared to their normal counterparts, Dangerous Skeletons have much higher health, deal more damage, and throw bones at a faster rate.

These enemies can appear in groups and are particularly threatening in narrow corridors, where their ranged bone attacks are harder to avoid.
