Husk
HostileHealth: 20 (10 hearts)JavaBedrock
How to find Husk
Deserts at night, spawning at light level 0 in place of most zombies - and they do not burn when the sun comes up, so deserts stay dangerous all day.
Spawn conditions: Light level 0 in desert biomes, replacing about 80% of zombies there; also from trial spawners in trial chambers, and Java leaders can call reinforcements.

How to kill Husk
Fight it like a zombie, but respect the debuff: its unarmed hits inflict Hunger (7 seconds per hit, scaled by regional difficulty), which drains your saturation and blocks natural regeneration. Keep your distance with a bow or a shield, and remember Smite and Instant Health work - it is undead. It has 2 armor points.
Behavior
A zombie variant that does not burn in sunlight and inflicts Hunger with unarmed melee attacks. Tracks targets from up to 40 blocks away. A husk that drowns converts into a regular zombie, which can then convert into a drowned. Babies ride chickens just like zombie jockeys.
Taming and breeding
Cannot be tamed or bred. A husk converted to zombie and then villager-cured is impossible directly, but zombie villagers in deserts still cure normally.
