An Illager is a type of mob that makes up the majority of the Arch-Illager's followers and minions. They appear in nearly every mission except for ???, Jungle Awakens, Flames of the Nether, and Hidden Depths, although a few Illagers spawn in a secret area in the Radiant Ravine secret mission.

Story

The Illagers are members of a cruel society in which the strong rule over all. Until the Arch-Illager came along, they were never strong enough to pose a threat to the peace of the Overworld. Nowadays, Illagers are stronger, being capable of burning villages, destroying Iron Golems, and killing or enslaving Villagers. Illagers make up the Illager empire, under the rule of the Arch-Illager. The main storyline requires the hero to rescue the villagers, defeat the Illagers, and save the Overworld...
