Spawn

When a Hoglin is in the Overworld or the End for 15 seconds

Usable items

A zoglin is an undead hostile mob created when a hoglin is out of the Nether for too long. It never retreats or flees, and attacks players and almost all non-zoglin mobs indiscriminately, using the same tusk attack as its non-zombified counterpart.

Spawning

Zoglins spawn when a hoglin has been out of the Nether for 300 game ticks (15 seconds). For their first 10 seconds after zombification, they get the EffectSprite nausea.png: Sprite image for nausea in Minecraft Nausea effect‌[1]. This nausea effect is cosmetic and does not affect its behavior.

Like most hostile mobs, zoglins despawn when the difficulty is changed to Peaceful.

Drops

Both adult and baby zoglins share the following item drop table:

Behavior

Zoglins are hostile toward armor stands[2], cameras‌, players in Adventure or Survival mode, and all mobs except agents, creepers, ghasts, and other zoglins. This includes hoglins and zombified piglins. Normal hoglins do not attack zoglins unless provoked by zoglins.

When an adult zoglin attacks, it flings its target into the air‌[3]. Blocking with shields does not mitigate this. When a baby zoglin attacks, they do not fling their target. Baby zoglins, unlike baby hoglins, never grow up. Any mob that can retaliate attacks a zoglin in return after being attacked, including baby zoglins.

In Java Edition, adult zoglins attack once every two seconds and babies attack every second. In Bedrock Edition, both adults and babies attack once every second.

When a zoglin attacks a piglin, the piglin either retreats or fights back. Piglin brutes attack zoglins if they are attacked first and never retreat. They also attack the zoglin if the zoglin attacks a piglin or another piglin brute.

If a hoglin is fed crimson fungus before it is zombified, the resulting zoglin does not despawn naturally and it does not count toward the mob cap.

Zoglins are incapable of breeding and do not flee from blocks that repel hoglins. Zoglins can be leashed. Unlike baby hoglins, baby zoglins attack baby zombified piglins. Piglins flee from zoglins if they are not engaged in combat.

Being an undead mob, they are:

Like zombified piglins, they are immune to fire and lava.

Sounds

Zoglins use the Hostile Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

Trivia

  • While Zombified Piglins can spawn naturally with their unzombified variant, Zoglins cannot. As a result, these mobs are the only nether-classified mobs that must be created in the Overworld or The End in order to exist.
