An undead hostile mob commonly encountered in the Overworld of a popular sandbox game. Characterized by its slow movement, groaning sounds, and relentless pursuit of players, it represents a fundamental threat, particularly to new players who lack adequate defenses.
Its presence significantly shapes early game survival strategies, compelling players to prioritize shelter construction and weapon acquisition. Throughout the game’s history, this entity has remained a consistent challenge, influencing resource management, combat tactics, and base design. Over time, variants and derivatives, such as villagers transformed into undead beings, have added layers of complexity to encounters.
