About this Mod

This Mod add's the Banging Skeleton from Skyrim as an Entity that can naturally spawn
in the Overworld...

The Animation starts playing on approach and the Skeleton Entity will hold an iron sword
and a shield on spawn.
The Entity acts similiar to a Zombie/Wither Skeleton (Without wither effect) and they dont
burn in the Sun.

The Skeleton Banging Entity

There isn't much more that it adds, so if you guys want more similiar mobs or more stuff,
you should follow this project!

This project has one bug, that I couldn't fix, it's !sometimes! when you approach the Entity it does the Sound effect, but doesn't do the Animtion
