Zombie: Hostile or neutral?
I was building my house in 1.1 and a zombie was in it and it DIDN'T kill me! I attacked the zombie and it started attacking me. Can someone please clarify this?

Zombies surviving in caves?
Hi i just read that zombies only die at day if they are in sunlight. Does this mean that i can find zombies, say underground even through its day on the surface? --Taurentius 13:24, 5 February 2011 (UTC) Yes this does, they spawn anywhere the light level is below seven, so they will spawn in caves even if it's broad daylight out.

"Their attack deals 3 hearts of damage."
Is this statement really correct? A quick look at Health/Damage says they deal 1.5/2.5/3.5 (easy/normal/hard) hearts of damage. It would be great if someone could confirm or deny a change in damage calculations. --DrPhil 01:44, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Questionable statement
"As of the September 3, 2009 update, zombies are the fastest mobs in the game." Is this statement correct? I remember spiders being a lot faster (but possibly due to their jumping behaviour). Even if so, it should be rewritten. --BlueLegion 15:05, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Feathers
Why do they drop feathers?

Thats probably also why they're dead. ICantThinkOfAGoodUsername 20:01, 15 January 2011 (UTC) In all seriousness, they dropped feathers because Notch didn't know what to make them drop before he added chickens. Daniels Grant1 13:11, 9 August 2011 (UTC)Daniels_Grant1
 * I believe they were orignally just a reskin of the chickens with similar, if not identical behavior at first. I am not 100% certain on this though. -- Choolio123 11:18, 9 February 2012

Zombies to chickens?
The statement "Zombies will turn into chickens if the game is suddenly switched to peaceful." seems bizarre to me. I often switch from having mobs to peaceful and have never seen a zombie turn into a chicken. Perhaps this was a glitch from before I started playing, or was a glitch directly after an update (and was quickly fixed), but without proof as to any scenario doing this I think it should be removed.

Zombie Feathers??? ZOMBIE feathers????????? I have no idea what they were thinking when they made zombies drop feathers. You forgot you sig there llovekittens, they drop feathers because there weren't chickens then and because Notch didn't know what they should drop. Also I've not seen that happen. In short they drop feathers because the almighty Notch decided to. Timberdoodle 23:25, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Disconfirming non-attacking zombies
Just before I was attacked by a zombie. It has definitely got a smaller radius of attack, and possibly weaker attack. (I was wearing armour.) Krickit 09:46, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Zombies will attack other mobs
i was being chased by a zombie and a skeleton when one of the skeletons arrows hit the zombie. The zombie turned around, killed the skeleton and continued following me dont think this has been said Saspcioll29 18:45, 3 April 2011 (UTC)Rafa

Zombies being slow?
http://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/124246851896619008 Notch twitted that today, just wondering if its a hint zombies could be slower in the future than they are now? What do you think? -- Throex  '''TALK 22:22, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Multiple Health Totals Given
Is there any reason why we have to list the health from both before and after 1.9 pre-release 3, instead of just the health as it stands now? 76.22.15.178 05:47, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

0-5 Feathers?
Why does it say zombies used to drop 0-5 feathers? I've played before 1.8 and they dropped 0-2 feathers.
 * Jesus Christ that was messy. Anyway… yes, that appears to be minor vandalism. Carry on. Shellface 00:46, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
