Skeleton Archer

:This page is about the grounded skeletal enemy. For the archer enemy sitting on a pulley-operated platform, see Archer.
The Skeleton Archer is an enemy in the Castlevania series. It is a skeleton equipped with a bow, which it uses to shoot arrows straight ahead (sometimes twice in a row). They are normally stationary but some varieties will move a bit and take aim at a different location.
==Appearances==
===Castlevania: The Arcade===
Skeleton Archers set up positions in the Ruins, and are also placed in many other areas. Only long-ranged weapons can destroy them.
===Castlevania: Moonlight Rhapsody===
Due to cultural sensitivities about depicting bodily remains, the Skeleton Archer was replaced with the Archer in the Chinese mobile game Moonlight Rhapsody.
