[1.16 idea] Soul Skeleton skin for skeletons in Soul Sand Valleys

Since Soulsand Valleys are upcoming for 1.16 I think skeletons should receive a different texture if they are spawned in a Soulsand Valley biome. Skeletons could have a 70% chance to spawn with a "Soul Skeleton" texture which is similar to the normal skeleton texture but the eyes glow the same blue color as the fog in a soulsand valley biome. Additionally the color of their bones could be a slightly darker color. If a spawn egg is used in a soulsand valley biome the skeletons spawned if they aren't wither skeletons would also have that chance to spawn with the skin. You could even take it a step further and add a new variant of skeletons called Soul Skeletons.

    I think that's a good design for a soul sand valley skeleton variant.

    I like it, this would be a really cool addition. Just normal skeletons feel out of place in the Nether. I would love to see it as new mob though, instead of a skin. Like how zombies turn into drowned if they're in water too long.

    This could be an amazing start to a whole new branch of skeleton mob variants, animations, and lore

    Soul Skeletons could have a chance of shooting arrows that set the player on fire with soul fire.

    Skeletons that die in soul fire could turn into a soul skeleton.
