SCP-2863, Starving Skeletons
by Zcoper
SCP-2863, Starving Skeletons adds a giant skeleton monster from the SCP universe that rises from the ground during the night on Forge.
What it does
Giant skeletons, about 23 blocks tall, rise from the ground at night in the overworld, spawning on the surface like a normal hostile mob. Several can be present at once. Each one tramples anyone in its path, and the sound of its teeth scratching and clinking can be heard from a distance. Players are warned by that noise before the monster is close.
SCP-2863 appears in four variants: the standard skeleton, a toothless version, a hollow-boned version and a burned variant. The creature has high durability and can perform stomp attacks that kill players. It is vulnerable to strong light sources, and intense light can destroy it for a time, though it may rise again from the ground later in the night.
The mod depends on Geckolib, which must be installed alongside it. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.19.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest file. The code is not open source and is covered by All rights reserved.
