The Skeleton Commando is a Hardmode enemy that spawns in the Dungeon after Plantera is defeated. It fires Rockets that explode when impacting blocks. Like the Blue Armored Bones, it is much more likely to spawn in areas with a Brick Wall.

It is one of the few entities that can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer or its upgrades.

Tips

• Skeleton Commandos have a large fire range, and their Rockets deal a lot of damage, so watch out for Rockets being fired from off-screen.

Trivia

• A commando is a combatant, or operative of an elite light infantry or special operations force using dedicated operation techniques. The Skeleton Commando is implied to be one by its bestiary description.
• In Expert Mode, the Skeleton Commando has a small chance of dropping two Rocket Launchers at once.

The Bestiary entry for the Skeleton Commando: "Rocket-powered and fueled with rage, these cursed skeletons prefer the nuclear option. Part of an elite military unit in their past lives."
