Hoglin

Hoglins are hostile pig-like mobs that inhabit the Nether. They are notable for being the only breedable hostile mob, and the main source of food in the Nether.

Spawning
Hoglins spawn commonly in groups of 4 in crimson forests; they may respawn over time. There is a 25% chance that they will spawn as baby Hoglins rather than adult Hoglins.

Drops
When killed, adult hoglins drop:
 * 2–4 ( if they die while on fire). The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 7 with Looting III.
 * 0–2 . The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 5 with Looting III.

Behavior
Hoglins are hostile mobs, and will attack the player upon sight. Their attack flings their target into the air, in a similar fashion to an iron golem. Baby hoglins also attack; however, they deal noticeably less damage than adults and cannot fling their target into the air. Adult hoglins will not attack players holding or standing near warped fungi and will avoid them. They also have very high knockback resistance, similar to a ravager.

Hoglins can be bred using crimson fungi, and will make a baby hoglin. The growth of a baby hoglin can also be accelerated using crimson fungi.

Hoglins will also attack piglins, but only if they attack first.

Hoglins cannot swim in water, and will drown.

Baby hoglins are naturally hostile, but flee when hit. They also appear to play with baby piglins, similarly how baby villagers play with each other.

Trivia

 * The name hoglin was chosen by the community, with its initial, placeholder name being "Piglin Beast". The same thing happened with the ravager, which was tentatively called the "Illager Beast".
 * Iron golems are hostile toward hoglins.
 * Hoglins receive damage from both fire and lava, as do piglins.
 * Hoglins are the only hostile mobs other than the unused killer bunny that can be bred.
 * Hoglins are the only nether mob that cannot spawn in the nether wastes biome in any form. The skeleton, blaze, and wither skeleton mobs can spawn in the nether fortress structure, which can generate in the nether wastes biome.
 * The baby variant of the hoglin, along with silverfish, are the considered the least-damaging hostile mobs in the game, regardless of difficulty.
 * Hoglins are the also the only Nether mobs who have and walk on four legs.
