A Skeleton Archer in Dungeons & Dragons is an animated skeletal creature, typically reanimated through necromantic magic, that retains enough of its former combat skill to use a bow effectively. Unlike living humanoids, it lacks flesh, muscles, and organs, which makes it immune to many effects that target living creatures, such as poison or disease. Its bones are brittle but reinforced by the magic that animates it, allowing it to carry and shoot arrows with precision.

Skeleton Archers are usually encountered serving necromancers or inhabiting crypts, tombs, and battlefields where death lingers. They act as ranged support for other undead, often positioned at a distance to rain arrows on intruders while remaining out of reach. Their intelligence is limited; they follow simple commands or the will of their creator, rarely acting independently or creatively in combat. Despite this, their persistence and immunity to fatigue make them dangerous, especially in numbers, as they do not tire, feel fear, or suffer from pain.

In game mechanics, a Skeleton Archer generally has lower health than living archers but compensates with immunity to conditions that affect the living. Its attacks rely on dexterity and ranged weapon proficiency, often using bows or crossbows. Tactically, it maintains distance from enemies, using cover when possible, and can be surprisingly accurate because the magical force animating it ensures it follows commands with precision. The Skeleton Archer embodies the eerie persistence of death made martial, a skeletal marksman bound by dark magic to strike repeatedly at the living.
