Illager

Illagers are hostile mobs that look similar to villagers, wandering traders and witches. The illagers are considered "exiled", "outcast", or "offshoot" villagers because they pursue and attack players, villagers, wandering traders, snow golems, and iron golems. These mobs are a major enemy in Minecraft Dungeons.

Illagers don't spawn alone. They always spawn naturally in groups such as patrols or raids or in their structures.

Illagers sometimes have their own "leader". They have a small chance to become a raid captain, even when summoned by commands. ($$ when using their spawn egg as well).

Vindicators can break down doors like zombies, in Normal or Hard modes.

Evokers and illusioners cast spells when fighting.

Java Edition
Evokers, illusioners and vindicators can open doors like villagers, using a spell, which does not rest their spell cool down. Note that pillagers (and witches and vexes) cannot.

All of them can spawn reinforcements when hit, like zombies do. Their reinforcements include other illagers and ravagers.

Bedrock
All illagers and vexes ignore baby villagers.

If an illager, except a pillager or a ravager, gets hit by a pillager, they would try to fight back and kill that pillager. The pillager will not fight back.

Criteria
There are 3 specific criteria for a mob to be considered an illager. They are as follows:


 * 1) "Johnny" vindicators do not attack the mob.
 * 2) The mob can not be damaged by evoker fangs.
 * 3) The mob won't fight back when they hit by pillager or illusioner's arrows.

Illagers
Only the pillager, vindicator and evoker can spawn naturally. The illusioner is exclusive to the Java Edition, and is unused. Vexes can be summoned by evokers, who can spawn in woodland mansions and raids.
