Vaal Slayer is a humanoid-sized vaal construct that uses bow attack.

Despite it is a skeleton archer, according to the in-game lore, vaal construct are not the undead that can be raised by a necromancer, as it is an animated armor that contains a skeleton inside.

Unlike similar skeleton archer, such as Ancient Archer, Vaal Slayer lacks of "humanoid", "skeleton" and "undead" internal use monster tags, and only has "construct" tag.
