A posionous[note 1] potato zombie is a joke variant of the zombie, only present in 24w14potato.

Spawning

Poisonous potato zombies spawn in light level 0, rarely in the Overworld and much more commonly in the Potato dimension. Just like with regular zombies, 5% of poisonous potato zombies spawn as babies, and those have a chance to spawn as chicken jockeys.

Three poisonous potato zombies spawn during the mega spud's 3rd phase.

  1. ↑ a b Only when killed by a player.

A poisonous potato headpiece does not drop when a poisonous potato zombie is killed by a charged creeper's explosion; instead, a normal zombie head is dropped.

Behavior

Poisonous potato zombies are hostile not only toward players, but also any other zombie-type mob, including normal zombies, zombie villagers, husks, drowned, and zombified piglins. Any zombie-type mob killed by poisonous potato zombie becomes another poisonous potato zombie. Unlike normal zombies, they do not attack villagers, and villagers do not run away from them.

Poisonous potato zombies are neutral toward players that wear a poisonous potato headpiece: they do not attack first, but they do retaliate if attacked.

Poisonous potato zombies do not groan, and instead make "POTATO" or "POTAHTOOOOOOO.." sounds repeatedly.

Sounds

Poisonous potato zombies use the Hostile Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.
