The specific instructions are: Baby camel husk's render

A camel husk is an undead variant of the camel that rarely spawns at night or during thunderstorms in deserts as a hostile mob, being ridden and controlled by an iron spear-wielding husk with a parched passenger, known as a camel husk jockey. It does not burn in sunlight, and is passive once separated from its riders. Unlike camels, camel husks can be ridden underwater, like skeleton horses.

Spawning

When a husk spawns naturally and spawns in a space that does not block the collision box required for a camel husk, it has a 10% chance to spawn as a camel husk jockey, i.e. riding a camel husk, and spawning a parched as the second passenger. Within a spawning pack of husks, only one of them can spawn as a camel husk jockey. If the husk is a baby husk and was supposed to spawn as chicken jockey, the chicken will be spawned (and can despawn), but the baby husk will ride the camel husk.

In this state, the camel husk's movement is controlled by the front passenger. This will initially be the husk; if the husk dismounts or is killed, the parched will instead take control. When both passengers are killed or dismount the camel husk, it becomes passive. It can then subsequently be ridden by players like a regular camel.

Camel husks do not spawn in Peaceful difficulty, like other monsters. Baby camel husks cannot spawn naturally.

1–3XP when killed by a player or tamed wolf.
These are the drops for the camel husk. Any passengers need to die separately, and drop items separately, like other jockeys.

Killing a baby camel husk yields no items or experience.

Behavior

Camel husks behave similarly to regular camels, but cannot breed, and are under two other different categories, monster and undead. They also regenerate health over time. In Java Edition, camel husks cannot be interacted with while sitting; in Bedrock Edition, they get up immediately once the player rides them while sitting.

Rabbit's feet can be used to tempt and heal camel husks.

Mob type

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.
A threat to armadillos, causing them to hide in their shell.

Unlike most undead mobs, camel husks do not burn in sunlight.

As they are also monsters, camel husks count towards the hostile mob cap. However, once a player gets onto a camel husk for the first time, it stops counting towards any mob cap and will no longer despawn, similar to having a name tag applied.

As they are considered monsters, parrots can imitate them.

In Bedrock Edition, camel husks prevent the player from sleeping and are killed by the conduit like the other undead mounts.

Riding

Camel husks can be ridden as long as there are not already two riders, and can be controlled by equipping them with a saddle.

Baby camel husks cannot be equipped or ridden.

Issues relating to "Camel Husk" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

Trivia

Camel husks are referred to by Mojang as neutral mobs, likely due to their status as hostile while being ridden by husks and parched.^[1]
Unlike the regular camel, the camel husk saddle texture file is separated from the camel, instead of being together.
