Hostility Level (Hostile)
The drowned is a hostile mob. The term mob is short for mobile and is used to refer to all living, moving creatures in the game such as chickens, creepers, and the drowned. Because a drowned is a hostile mob, it will attack you in Survival mode but not Creative mode.
Health Points
In Minecraft, a drowned has 10 hearts for health. This gives a drowned 20 health points (because 1 heart = 2 health points). To kill a drowned, you need to inflict 20 points of damage to the drowned.
Where to Find the Drowned
In Minecraft, you can find the drowned in Ocean and River biomes. If a zombie drowns in water, it will also become the drowned.
If you are having trouble finding a drowned, you can summon a drowned using a cheat or you can use a spawn egg.
Weapon
The drowned may spawn with a trident as a weapon.
Attack Method
In Minecraft, a drowned will move towards you and try to hit you when it attacks. If it is carrying a trident, it will try to throw the trident at you from a distance.
Drops
When you kill drowned in Minecraft, it may drop rotten flesh.
Make sure you pick up any dropped items before they disappear. They are useful and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
Experience Points
As you play the game, you will gain experience. The most common way to gain experience is by killing mobs. When a mob is killed you will see tiny green and yellow balls appear and move towards you.
These orbs represent experience points. When you kill a drowned, you will gain 5 experience points.
