Not to be confused with Robotic Skull, the

Master Mode pet for Skeletron Prime.

The Mechanical Skull is a boss-summoning

item used to summon Skeletron Prime, a
Hardmode version of Skeletron. It can only be
used at night, which means consuming this
item during day will not spawn Skeletron Prime.
It is also unusable when the boss is already
present. It can be used in any world, but usually
only becomes accessible in a Hardmode World. If
Skeletron Prime has not been defeated yet in a
Hardmode world, all enemies have a 1/2500
(0.04%) chance of dropping this item, with the
exception of statue-spawned enemies, Meteor
Heads, and Old One's Army enemies.
