The Skeleton Commando is a Hardmode enemy that spawns in the Dungeon after Plantera is defeated. It fires Rockets that explode when impacting blocks. They are immune to the Poisoned and Venom debuffs. Like the Blue Armored Bones, they are much more likely to spawn in areas with a Brick Wall.

It is one of the few entities that can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer.

Notes

• They have a large fire range, and their rockets deal a lot of damage, so watch out for rockets flying towards you from off screen.

Trivia

• The Skeleton Commando does not represent any modern day versions of a commando.
• It is possible for the Skeleton Commando to drop an extra rocket launcher, however it is extremely unlikely.

• The Bestiary entry for the Skeleton Commando: "Rocket-powered and fueled with rage, these cursed skeletons prefer the nuclear option. Part of an elite military unit in their past lives."
