Skeleton Horse Spawn Egg is a Creative-mode item that spawns a Skeleton Horse (minecraft:skeleton_horse), the undead variant of the ordinary horse, in both Java and Bedrock Edition. Skeleton Horse Spawn Egg cannot be crafted or found in survival loot chests — players obtain Skeleton Horse Spawn Egg only from the Creative inventory or the /give command. The egg shows a pale grey base with white spots that echoes the bony texture of the mob it releases. Skeleton horses were added in Java Edition 1.6.1, while the natural skeleton trap horse that appears when lightning strikes during a thunderstorm arrived in Java 1.9.

Skeleton Horse Spawn Egg is the fastest way to get a skeleton horse without waiting for a storm: right-click any solid ground and a tamed, saddleable mount appears. As an undead mob, a skeleton horse never drowns and breathes underwater, so Skeleton Horse Spawn Egg is handy for ocean-crossing roads or aquatic racing tracks. Skeleton horses are healed by the Potion of Harming and damaged by the Potion of Healing, and they cannot wear horse armor. Use Skeleton Horse Spawn Egg to stock a haunted stable, set up a Halloween build, or quickly test mount mechanics on a survival-style map.
