I think Minecraft could benefit from a new high-tier skeleton variant called the Lich, focused on summoning rather than direct combat.
Mob: Lich
Does not attack players directly
Periodically summons normal skeletons (cooldown ~15 seconds)
Moves slowly to avoid players
Only one Lich spawns per structure
Does not respawn once defeated
Structure: Ruined Castle
A rare Overworld-only structure
Built mainly from deepslate bricks
Medium to large size
Contains a single Lich as its main challenge
Gameplay Balance
Difficulty comes from summoned mobs, not raw damage
No spawner-based or infinite farming
Designed as a one-time strategic encounter
Implicit Lore
The Ruined Castle and the Lich imply a high-level ancient builder, similar to how shipwrecks or ancient cities tell their stories through environment rather than direct lore.
