Zoglins are undead hostile mobs created when a hoglin enters the Overworld or End.
Spawning
Zoglins spawn when a hoglin has been in the Overworld or the End for 300 game ticks (15 seconds).
Drops
- Adults (and babies [JE only]): 1–3 rotten flesh. The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 6 with Looting III.
- 5 if adult and baby killed by a player or tamed wolf in Java Edition.
- 1–3 if adult killed by a player or tamed wolf in Bedrock Edition.
Behavior
Zoglins are immune to burning effects and are aggressive: adults and babies attack armor stands,[1] all mobs (except creepers and other zoglins), and players.
When an adult attacks, it flings its target into the air. Blocking with shields does not mitigate this. Babies attack but do not fling their target.
Like vindicators, evokers, and shulkers, Zoglins are passive on peaceful difficulty.
Zoglins are incapable of breeding and do not flee from blocks that repel hoglins. Unlike baby hoglins, baby zoglins attack baby piglins. Piglins flee from zoglins if they are not engaged in combat.
Being an undead mob, they are:
- damaged by the status effect Instant Health and healed by the status effect Instant Damage,
- unaffected by the status effects Regeneration and Poison,
- ignored by the wither,
- affected by the Smite enchantment.
Like zombified piglins, they are immune to fire and lava.
