Zombified Piglin

Zombie Pigmen were added in the Halloween Update on October 31st 2010. They are found only in The Nether, and do not serve a purpose currently, besides as a renewable source of food within the Nether. They stand idly in packs of 4-10. Zombie Pigmen are passive until attacked, upon which the entire pack will charge at the player with deadly speed. They will continue to be hostile every time the player returns to the Nether unless difficulty is changed to peaceful and back. They wield gold swords. When killed, they drop Grilled Pork and Feathers

The Zombie Pigmen idea was suggested by player Miclee, though Notch changed X__x's gory texture to the current one. Notch confirmed living pigmen, so zombies may become prefixes.
