Zombified Piglins
Undead piglin wanderers of the Nether, hostile to players.
Zombified Piglins are undead humanoid creatures that populate the Nether dimension. They are anthropomorphic pigs, known as piglins, that have become zombified. Unlike their living counterparts, they do not have a bartering system where players can give them gold ingots and receive items in return. They are hostile mobs that spawn in the Nether, and they are distinct from other Nether mobs such as ghasts, which are shrieking and fireball-shooting, or blazes and wither skeletons found in Nether fortresses.

Lore & Background
Zombified Piglins are the zombified counterparts of piglins, the anthropomorphic pigs that inhabit the Nether. While living piglins have a bartering system where players can give them gold ingots and receive items in return, Zombified Piglins do not engage in trade. They are hostile mobs that spawn in the Nether, and they are part of the game's hostile creature roster, which includes other Nether-specific mobs like ghasts, blazes, and wither skeletons. Their existence is tied to the Nether's hell-like underworld dimension, which is composed mainly of lava and accessed via an obsidian portal.
Reader's Guide
When exploring the Nether, players will encounter Zombified Piglins as hostile mobs. They are distinct from other Nether mobs such as ghasts, which are shrieking and fireball-shooting, and blazes, which can drop blaze rods needed to access the End dimension. Zombified Piglins do not have a bartering system; they are purely aggressive. Players should be prepared to fight or avoid them. They spawn in the Nether, a dimension composed mainly of lava, and are part of the game's hostile creature ecosystem. Unlike the living piglins, who are neutral unless provoked, Zombified Piglins are always hostile.
