Zombification

Zombification is a type of reduction that causes the body to rot. A zombified soul seeks only to destroy. Zombification is in some cases contagious after an attack, given that a zombie did not mortally wound the body. However, a zombified soul will keep a body walking long after it was meant to die.

Piglins can experience a unique form of zombification called greening, in which those affected will remain passive, but a soul afflicted will wander off from their birth family into the Nether wastes.
