(Boss) The Skeleton King

The Skeleton King is a new mini-boss/boss mob. It is found in The Nether. Heard of a Nether Fortress? Well, he lives in the Nether Castle.

The fight

When you find the Nether Castle, you must go search all the rooms in it (like a woodland mansion) until you reach the top floor, Btw, the castle’s full of aggressive zombie pigmen, skeletons and wither skeletons. When you do reach the top floor, you will find the king in his throne room. he is half skeleton and half wither skeleton, so if you look at his face, the right side is wither skeleton, and the left is a regular skeleton. The boss is three blocks tall, equipped with a diamond sword, iron armor and The Crown of Nightmares on top of his head, and a total of 90 HP. The room also has some WS guards covered in chainmail and regular skeletons with power II bows, because they’re who he trusts most. while fighting, the king will charge into battle with his sword, but if he gets down to 40 health, he will retreat and shoot with a power III, punch I bow. If he hasn’t been hit for 5 seconds, he will begin to regenerate health.

If you win

If you defeat him, he will drop The Crown of Nightmares and possibly his bow, sword and armor. He will also drop a treasure map, leading to treasure inside The Nether.

    Um, the Wither is a three headed skeleton.  There is no need for duplicates.

    I agree, there should be a skeletal king! And no I don't see how this is a wither duplicate. We need more mini bosses especially for the nether. It's too easy, and the wither does not naturally spawn and you cant go looking for it, you have to summon it. Not to mention you can just summon the wither in an obsidian cage to limit its movement, I've done it!

    You got my vote!

    Actually, the wither (in legacy console at least) breaks all blocks except for bedrock. But, I am not entirely backing this idea, as there legitimately need to be other types of bosses besides the wither, enderdragon or elder guardian, or ones remotely related to it.

    The Skeleton king should have wings, and should look like a giant wither Skeleton about 5 blocks tall instead of half wither and half normal Skeleton, I think it should be more of a challenge to beat for example it has two phases. The first phase it flys around and shoots you with a bow while sending Zombie pigmen in to fight and the second phase it should drop to the ground and use a sword and shield while have wither Skeletons to shoot you.
