A &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;stray&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is a [[Minecraft:skeleton]] variant that spawns in various snow-covered [[Minecraft:biome]]s. They behave very similarly to skeletons, except they fire [[Minecraft:tipped arrow]]s of [[Minecraft:Slowness]] from their [[Minecraft:bow]]s and do not freeze in [[Minecraft:powder snow]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Spawning ==&lt;br /&gt;
A stray may spawn directly under the sky in [[Minecraft:snowy plains]], or [[Minecraft:ice spikes]], replacing 80% of skeletons. Additionally, a stray may spawn in [[Minecraft:Frozen River|frozen rivers]], [[Minecraft:frozen ocean]]s, [[Minecraft:deep frozen ocean]]s, [[Minecraft:legacy frozen ocean]]s, [[Minecraft:snowy slopes]], [[Minecraft:jagged peaks]] and [[Minecraft:frozen peaks]] in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Bedrock Edition]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Strays do not spawn naturally from [[Minecraft:monster spawner]]s {{in|java}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Mob spawn table}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Converting ===&lt;br /&gt;
When a [[Minecraft:skeleton]] is kept inside [[Minecraft:powder snow]] for {{convert|7|second|game tick}}, it begins shaking. After another {{convert|15|second|game tick}}, it becomes a stray. A converted stray appears with full health even if the original skeleton did not have full health. Items being held or worn by a skeleton when it becomes a stray remain unchanged. Unlike regular skeletons, [[Minecraft:bogged]] and [[Minecraft:parched]] do not turn into strays, but take freezing damage instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Trial spawners ===&lt;br /&gt;
Strays have a {{frac|1|3}} chance to be selected as the &amp;quot;ranged&amp;quot; mob for [[Minecraft:trial spawner]]s in [[Minecraft:trial chambers]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Spider jockeys ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{IN|be}}, [[Minecraft:spider]]s and [[Minecraft:cave spiders]] spawned in biomes where strays can spawn (spiders cannot naturally spawn in [[Minecraft:snowy plains]]) have a 1% chance to spawn as a [[Minecraft:spider jockey]], with an 80% chance of the rider being a stray. {{IN|je}}, stray spider jockeys cannot spawn naturally, but the skeleton rider can convert into a stray and continue as a stray spider jockey.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Drops ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== On death ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{DropTable&lt;br /&gt;
|{{DropLine|name=Bone|quantity=0-2|lootingquantity=0-1}}&lt;br /&gt;
|{{DropLine|name=Arrow|quantity=0-2|lootingquantity=0-1}}&lt;br /&gt;
|{{DropLine|name=Arrow of Slowness|notes=player|quantity=0-1|lootingquantity=0-1|limit=1}}&lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
* Any picked-up equipment has a 100% chance of dropping and drops with the same damage level it had when picked up. &lt;br /&gt;
* Any naturally spawned equipment, including the [[Minecraft:bow]], has an 8.5% chance of dropping (9.5% with [[Minecraft:Looting]] I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III). It is damaged and may be enchanted. &lt;br /&gt;
* {{xp|5}} [[Minecraft:experience]] orbs when killed by a player or tamed [[Minecraft:wolf]] and an extra {{xp|1|3}} if the stray has [[Minecraft:armor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Behavior ==&lt;br /&gt;
Strays behave the same as normal skeletons but make noises with an echoing effect and shoot [[Minecraft:tipped arrow]]s that inflict [[Minecraft:Slowness]] for 30 seconds on any target that they hit. {{iN|be}}, strays that are underwater use a melee attack that inflicts Slowness. Strays do not take damage from freezing in powder snow, but they are not immune to Slowness. A stray holding a [[Minecraft:tipped arrow]] or [[Minecraft:spectral arrow]] in its off-hand always shoots that type of arrow instead, and the arrow held is not consumed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Being an [[Minecraft:undead]] mob, they are: &lt;br /&gt;
* Damaged by the status effect [[Minecraft:Instant Health]] and healed by the status effect [[Minecraft:Instant Damage]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Unaffected by the status effects [[Minecraft:Regeneration]] and [[Minecraft:Poison]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Ignored by the [[Minecraft:wither]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Affected by the [[Minecraft:Smite]] enchantment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Unable to swim in [[Minecraft:water]], but do not drown.&lt;br /&gt;
* A threat to [[Minecraft:armadillo]]s, causing them to hide in their shell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As they are also under the &amp;quot;skeletons&amp;quot; [[Minecraft:entity type tag]], if a stray kills a [[Minecraft:creeper]], the creeper drops a [[Minecraft:music disc]], randomly selected from [[Minecraft:Music Disc 13|13]], [[Minecraft:Music Disc cat|cat]], [[Minecraft:Music Disc blocks|blocks]], [[Minecraft:Music Disc chirp|chirp]], [[Minecraft:Music Disc far|far]], [[Minecraft:Music Disc mall|mall]], [[Minecraft:Music Disc mellohi|mellohi]], [[Minecraft:Music Disc stal|stal]], [[Minecraft:Music Disc strad|strad]], [[Minecraft:Music Disc ward|ward]], [[Minecraft:Music Disc 11|11]], and [[Minecraft:Music Disc wait|wait]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like [[Minecraft:bogged]] and [[Minecraft:parched]], the eyes of strays are emissive with [[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]].&lt;br /&gt;

*Strays and other skeleton variants do not know how to use a [[Minecraft:crossbow]], despite the same using method as a [[Minecraft:bow]].&lt;br /&gt;
*According to the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Minecraft]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; website, the slowness arrows represent frozen arrows that freeze on impact.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*The stray&amp;#039;s fourth ambient sound is the skeleton&amp;#039;s second ambient sound but partly edited.&lt;br /&gt;
