Minecraft Dungeons:Vindicator

A Vindicator is a common illager, and hostile mobs equipped with an axe. It is found on most levels in Minecraft Dungeons.

Appearance
The vindicator's appearance $$ is similar to its default counterpart, but with a slightly brightened texture, and their arms are never seen together, unlike in the base game.

Behavior
A Vindicator attacks the player on sight. It usually moves faster than other melee mobs. If it sees a player, it charges and attacks with an axe.

Although Vindicators have high movement speed, they have more delay than other melee mobs when attacking. Their attack speed is slightly slower than zombies but deal more damage and are tougher.

Trivia

 * Unlike the original game's vindicator, the Vindicator $$ had its sound removed.
 * The Vindicator and its variants have new "Novelty" sounds, such as a sneer when swinging its weapon or axe.
 * The Vindicator of the beta versions that can be seen in the Minecraft Dungeons: Opening Cinematic and in the Squid Coast loading screen, used the skin texture of the base game (pre 1.14) and had a collar with the same color as the pants, instead of red.

Lore
Before the Arch-Illager appeared, the Vindicators were the basic illager soldiers, guarding the Woodland Mansions and participating in raids, after Archie keeps the Orb of Dominance, the Vindicators (and Pillagers) leaded by the Evokers Thord and Walda joined the Arch-Illager's army, patrolling now the Highblock Keep; the Fiery Forge; Redstone Mines and participating in raids, now with the help of Redstone Golems and Monstrosities. After the main characters defeat the Arch-Illager, they traveled to other areas of the Mainland and even other dimensions, where the Vindicators can also be found, it's unknown if the illagers were already there before the Arch-Illager's fall.
