	A "skeleton trap" horse is a skeleton horse spawned from a fraction of [[Minecraft:lightning]] generated naturally by a [[Minecraft:thunderstorm]] (0.75–1.5% chance on Easy, 1.5–4% on Normal, and 2.25–6.75% on Hard [[Minecraft:difficulty]], depending on [[Minecraft:regional difficulty]]). {{IN\|java}}, the lightning that spawns a trap horse doesn't strike nearby entities or spawn [[Minecraft:fire]]s.

The trap horse despawns after <abbr title="18,000 ticks">15 minutes</abbr> if not triggered (even if it is named). Trap horses will spawn in any biome where it can rain, even in [[Minecraft:mushroom fields]] and [[Minecraft:deep dark]].<ref>{{bug\|MC-305630\|\|Skeleton horse traps can spawn in any biome where it can rain, including deep dark and mushroom fields}}</ref>{{verify\|edition=bedrock}}		A "skeleton trap" horse is a skeleton horse spawned from a fraction of [[Minecraft:lightning]] generated naturally by a [[Minecraft:thunderstorm]] (0.75–1.5% chance on Easy, 1.5–4% on Normal, and 2.25–6.75% on Hard [[Minecraft:difficulty]], depending on [[Minecraft:regional difficulty]]). {{IN\|java}}, the lightning that spawns a trap horse doesn't strike nearby entities or spawn [[Minecraft:fire]]s.

	The skeleton horse is an undead mob that spawns and triggers a "skeleton trap" if the player gets too close. Once the skeleton rider is defeated, the skeleton horse becomes completely passive. Skeleton horses behave like normal horses, roaming idly and occasionally stopping to rear~~, swish their tails~~, or lower their heads as though eating the grass. Unlike [[Minecraft:sheep]], the eating animation does not actually cause any grass to be consumed. Skeleton horses can breathe in water.

	Skeleton horses can safely fall 6 blocks before they begin to accumulate [[Minecraft:Damage#Fall damage\|fall damage]], unlike most mobs, which can only safely fall 3 blocks. Skeleton horses also take half of the normal fall damage (rounded up) that most other mobs take ({{hp\|0.5}} damage per block over the safe distance instead of {{hp\|1}}). If an entity is riding a skeleton horse, they receive the same fall damage as the skeleton horse.
