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 Nausea effect‌^{[JE only][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

On death

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

Behavior

Zoglins are hostile toward armor stands^[2], cameras‌^{[BE & edu only]}, players in Adventure or Survival mode, and all mobs except agents, creepers, and other zoglins. This includes hoglins and zombified piglins. Normal hoglins do not attack zoglins unless provoked by zoglins. The behavior is almost shared with vindicators named "Johnny".

When an adult zoglin attacks, it flings its target into the air‌^{[JE only][3]}. Blocking with a shield 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.

Like hoglins, zoglins can be leashed. If a player has a zoglin on a lead, then the zoglin still attacks other entities who get within its attack range, but does not actively pursue and attack the player leading it.‌^{[JE only]}

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.
• unable to swim in water, but do not drown.
• a threat to armadillos, causing them to hide in their shell.

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

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.

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.
