Can't view that url. 403 error.

I'm guessing it's a skele in gold armour?

Normally see them a fairly often so either your friend hasn't played much or he's been playing too much peaceful mode :)

Zombies and skeletons can spawn with any type of armour and it can also be enchanted. Skeletons can also spawn with enchanted bows. When you kill them you have a random chance of getting a piece of the armour or the bow. It's the only way you can get chainmail in non-creative game modes. I think they're more common on higher difficulty levels.

If you die and drop the armor/weapons you had they will collect it.

Ah, I have not played for a few patches and was stumped when asked.
