Illager

Illagers are a category of hostile mobs that look similar to villagers, wandering traders and witches. The illagers are considered "exiled", "outcast", or "offshoot" villagers because they pursue and attack players, villagers, wandering traders and iron golems.

All of them can spawn reinforcements when hit, like zombies. Note: ravagers also can spawn even though they are not illagers.

They search for and attack snow golems.

Evokers and illusioners cast spells when fighting.

Evokers, illusioners and vindicators can open doors like villagers, but using a spell.
 * Note that pillagers (and witches and vexes) cannot.
 * Vindicators can break down doors like zombies, $$ regardless of the difficulty, while $$ at normal or hard difficulty.

$$, all illagers ignore baby villagers, vexes despite not illager also ignore baby villagers.

Only the pillager, vindicator and evoker can spawn naturally. The illusioner is exclusive to the Java Edition, and is unused. Vexes can be summoned by evokers, who can spawn in woodland mansions and raids.

Vindicators and evokers are found in mansions, while pillagers spawn in pillager outposts.
