Skeletons are an enemy in Spelunky 2.

They randomly appear in all areas.

Behavior[]

Skeletons spawn inactive, nearly indistinguishable from harmless piles of bones seen throughout the caves. If a spelunker gets within three tiles horizontally of a skeleton, they rise, walking in the direction of the spelunker. They walk straight off of ledges.

Skeletons instantly die to the flash of a Camera, and leave a normal skull behind when killed. They also have a 1/1000 chance to drop a Skeleton Key.

Telling apart[]

There's a couple differences between a resting Skeleton and a normal pile of bones, though the most obvious difference is the Skeleton's much rounder eye socket.
