  • In Default difficulty, skeleton horsemen are the rarest powerful mob in the game, only spawning within the fossil area in the cacti canyon.
  • The first skeleton horse that heroes find has a rider, unlike within the original game.
  • The Skeleton Horse model is different to the one the original game uses, since all Horse models were changed in recent versions. Due to the model being different, the texture is outdated.
