When attacking with a spear,the animation for Skeletons and Vindicators looks visually jarring.Skeletons hold their arms straight out (as they do for melee attacks), and Vindicators keep their raised-arm pose.Both of these poses clash awkwardly with the spear‘s jab animation, making the attack look unnatural.
Observed Inconsistency:
Other mobs that share a base model display a more unified spear-holding posture (e.g., Drowned use the Zombie‘s animation, Piglin Brutes use the Piglin‘s). Skeletons and Vindicators appear to have been missed in this adaptation.
Suggestion:
To resolve this visual clash,their spear attack animations could potentially be adapted from existing ones that better fit a spear.For example, They could use an animation similar to Piglins.
