Decaying Zombie

This zombie will be rarer, faster and stronger than normal zombie. It also has an new gimmick to turn into an normal skeleton when its on half health. But, if you kill him, you get the Pale Heart, which is an item that can bring back your dead pets.

    Interesting idea, kind of sounds like a zombie brute type thing. -z

    Better, make the Pale Heart bind to the pet so that it can not only be used to resurrect them, but also buff them by enchanting the item. Cats, Parrots, and horses could have any armor enchantment; and dogs could have any armor enchantment and any melee weapon enchantment.

    I would also say that you would need to give it a regeneration effect to stop it from decaying to get the pale heart (as otherwise it would decay into a skeleton, so even if you kill it instantly it only drops skeleton stuff); and that it only spawns on full moons, requires being able to see the sky to spawn, and not within 200 blocks of a light source. It should also vanish at dawn if it isn't targeting a player or has a name.

    This makes it fill the night of a mob that is Hella rare and pretty much impossible to farm, but extremely valuable to seek out.
