The Wither Skeleton in Minecraft is a hostile mob that looks like a black skeleton armed with a stone sword. He is a little taller than an ordinary skeleton; you can only meet him in the Cave, in the Infernal Fortress. Because of the black color of the Wither Skeleton, it is sometimes difficult to notice in the dark corridors of the fortress.
Attacking a player, the Wither Skeleton puts a "Desiccation" effect on him for 10 seconds, as a result of which the player loses half of the heart every 2 seconds.
