Zombified Piglin
Neutral · Nether
Zombified Piglins are undead variants of Piglins that wander the Nether in large groups. They are normally passive but become a pack threat when any single one is provoked, as nearby individuals all aggro simultaneously. As of Java 1.21.5, XP drops are restricted to direct player kills even during angered states.
