Instead of just letting skeletons die when they sink underwater, make a new underwater skeleton that won't be much different than the normal one other than that it can breathe and swim underwater and will die if completely out of the water. Add an underwater mob with these same above features for all the common mobs: Endermen, Creepers... Underwater creepers will explode underwater but will not damage the surface, only damaging you and forcing you away because of the explosion's power.

- Creepers already do that, I think.
- Endermen take damage from water, so that idea makes no sense.
- Your underwater skeleton idea is neat but not needed because we already have Drowned with Tridents.
Also, since the acquatic update, skeletons can dive.
Skeletons will have helmets Luke the drowned and will have kelp/other green plants around them.
The ‘drowned skelleton’ will be covered in kelp, similar to the drowned. It will not have a bow and arrow but an unlimited supply of tridents. Only sometimes you will collect tridents. You will tend To collect less bones from drowned skeletons than normal ones.
