Minecraft skeleton horse: the thunderstorm trap
The skeleton horse is an undead horse you will almost always meet as a trap. During thunderstorms, a small share of natural lightning strikes spawns a skeleton trap horse: 0.75% to 1.5% on Easy, 1.5% to 4% on Normal and 2.25% to 6.75% on Hard, depending on regional difficulty. Lightning from a Channeling trident and strikes that hit a lightning rod never do.
The trap triggers when you come within 10 blocks. Another bolt falls, one that neither burns nor hurts, and the horse becomes a skeleton horseman along with three more. The riders carry an enchanted bow and iron helmet and are always regular skeletons, never strays or other variants. If nobody triggers the trap, the horse despawns after 15 minutes, even if named.
The good part comes after. Once you kill the skeleton riding it, the horse turns completely passive and is already tamed, so you can saddle it and ride straight away. Unlike almost every undead mob it does not burn in sunlight, and it can breathe underwater, which makes it a very handy mount for crossing rivers and lakes without getting off.
In Java it does not spawn on Peaceful, and the trap ignores the normal spawning rules, so it can appear on almost any block and in any biome where it rains, even mushroom fields. Babies never spawn naturally. On death it gives 1 to 3 experience and drops its saddle if it had one.
