Drops
| Item | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bone | 0-2 | Up to 5 with Looting III |
| Arrow | 0-2 | Up to 5 with Looting III |
| Arrow of Slowness | 0-1 | Only with Looting; tipped arrows for your own use |
How to kill Stray
Exactly like a skeleton, but every arrow inflicts 30 seconds of Slowness - rushing them through the slowdown is painful, so use a shield, pillars or your own bow.
Behavior
A frozen skeleton variant shooting tipped arrows of Slowness. Burns in daylight and hides in shade and water like other skeletons; wolves attack strays on sight. In Java, a skeleton that freezes inside powder snow converts into a stray.
Taming and breeding
Cannot be tamed or bred.
