Badass Skeletons are enemies encountered in the DLC Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep. They are elite units and are significantly tougher than most of their companions.
*In True Vault Hunter Mode they are renamed Super Badass Skeleton, and in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode they are renamed Ultimate Badass Skeleton.
*Destroying a Badass Skeleton contributes to the Bone Breaker challenge in the challenge list.
Badass Skeletons are heavily armored and wield a large shield. The shield can deflect bullets and when placed in front of the skeleton it is impervious to frontal attack. In addition to the shield, Badass Skeletons carry a large mace which they use as a melee weapon. Badass Skeltons have a basic melee attack with their mace and a more powerful ground-pound attack. The Badass Skeleton smashes its mace into the ground creating a small shockwave and pushing any enemies back. However, this attack causes their mace to become stuck in the ground for a short while, leaving them open to attack. Despite their red health bar, Badass Skeletons are weak to corrosive damage.
