Zombified Piglin

Zombie Pigmen are aggressive mobs that first appeared in minecraft alpha. The main purpose of Zombie Pigmen is to supply grilled pork, and therefore are a renewable source of food in the Nether. Zombie Pigmen are 2 blocks tall, 1 block wide and 0.25 block thick.

Behavior
Zombie Pigmen wander around aimlessly, avoiding cliffs, ghasts and lava. If you stand near a Zombie Pigman, it will turn its head towards you for a few seconds, then resume its wandering. Zombie Pigmen often spawn in packs of 4-10. All Zombie Pigmen in a group will become aggressive if one of them is attacked, often swarming the player. If the player moves a certain distance from a pack, waits a while or leaves the nether and returns; they will become neutral again.

Information & History

 * Zombie Pigmen are supposed to be immune to lava and fire, but if they are in lava for long enough, they will be damaged. They do play a burning animation in sunlight, but are unharmed from it.
 * Despite wielding a golden sword, they deal 2.5 damage instead of the normal 2 damage.
 * The Zombie Pigman skin was suggested by X__x, although his gory texture was made less sanguinary skin.
 * Zombie Pigmen, prior to the 10th of November 2010 update, would never forgive the player.
