Spider jockeys

Template:Main Template:Exclusive There is a 1% chance for a cave spider to spawn with a Minecraft:skeleton riding it, forming a cave spider jockey. The skeleton has an 80% chance to be replaced by a Minecraft:stray, Minecraft:bogged, Minecraft:parched, or Minecraft:wither skeleton in the biomes where they spawn.
