This article is about the dried-out variant of the zombie. For other zombie variants, see Zombie (disambiguation).

“ | I remember the first time I had the pleasure of meeting a Husk. I had gotten myself trapped in a sandpit of my own creation (as you do). Then, looking up, I saw a silhouette towering over me, lit up against the burning desert sun. “At last, my savior!” I cried, doing a little jig for joy. But then I heard that awful zombie screech, and I was thumped over the head. | „ |

Husks are dried-out variants of zombies that spawn in deserts.
Contents
Spawning[edit]
Husks spawn directly under the sky in groups of 4 (2-4 and can also spawn underground[Bedrock Edition only])at a light level of 7 or less in desert, desert hills and desert lakes biomes in place of 80% of all zombies spawned in these biomes.
Baby Husks and Chicken Jockeys[edit]
There is a 5% chance for husks to spawn as babies, and baby husks have a 5% chance to spawn as a chicken jockey[Java Edition only]. In Bedrock Edition, baby husks have a 15% chance of wanting to become a jockey when attacking a target. They can mount:
- Adult chickens
- Adult ocelots
- Adult wild wolves
- Adult zombies
- Adult zombie villagers
- Adult husks
- Cows
- Pigs
- Sheep
- Horses
- Donkeys
- Mules
- Zombie horses
- Skeleton horses
- Mooshrooms
- Spiders
- Cave spiders
- Polar bears
- Llamas
- Pandas
- Adult Stray cats
Side notes about all jockeys from both Java and Bedrock editions:
- It will use the baby husk speed instead of the mob speed.
- If riding a neutral mob, it will become hostile, but won't anger any other nearby mobs of the same kind.
- If a baby husk is riding a mob that is also rideable by a player, that mob will no longer be rideable by a player.
Behavior[edit]
Husks will pursue the player, iron golems, villagers, baby turtles, and wandering traders[upcoming: JE 1.14 & BE 1.10.0] on sight from 40 blocks away, as opposed to 16 blocks in most other hostile mobs. They will attempt to avoid obstacles, including sheer cliffs, water and lava, and will try to find the shortest path towards the player.
Husks will apply Hunger to any player or mob it hits using melee attack. This effect lasts for 7 × floor (regional difficulty) seconds.
Unlike zombies, husks won't burn in sunlight.
Breaking doors[edit]
Husks can break down doors successfully on Hard difficulty.
Stomp turtle egg[edit]
Husks will seek out a nearby turtle egg and try to destroy it.
Picking up items[edit]
Husks can pick up items if the gamerule mobGriefing is set to true, and will not despawn if left alone.
Becoming zombies[edit]
If a husk drowns in water, they will be converted to a normal zombie which, if it drowns, will be converted to drowned.
Drops[edit]
When they die, husks drop:
- 0–2 Rotten Flesh.
- Iron ingots, carrots and potatoes (0.8% chance each, 1.2% chance with Looting I, 1.5% chance with Looting II and 1.8% chance with Looting III).
- Any picked-up equipment has 100% chance of dropping and will drop with the same damage level it had when picked up.
Naturally-spawned equipment[edit]
- Pumpkin [note 1]
- Jack o'Lantern[Java Edition only][note 1]
- Iron Shovel
- Iron Sword
- Random Armor
- Husk have an 8.5% chance of dropping their naturally-spawned equipment, and will drop it with a random durability. Each level of Looting will increase the chance 1 percentage point (11.5 % with Looting III).
- ↑ a b Husks spawn only with pumpkins and jack o'lanterns[Java Edition only] during Halloween.
Experience[edit]
Adult husks will drop 5 experience and an additional 1–3 experience per naturally-spawned equipment. Baby husks will drop 12 experience.
Halloween[edit]
If a husk wearing a pumpkin or jack o'lantern[Java Edition only] is killed using a weapon enchanted with Looting, there will be a chance equivalent to the level of Looting used to drop the pumpkin or jack o'lantern, up to a maximum of a 3% chance of a drop.
