Piglins- But Better

I know Minecraft Legend's Development has stopped, but I played it and enjoyed it, and would like to see a new piglin variant added to Minecraft. No, this is not directly from the game or a mod but focusing on making the piglins better. So why not add a piglin that provides a unique experience? The Piglin Skirmisher is a very determined piglin variant, spending countless hours looking for netherite and smelting it, set on securing more land for its tribe. It is a somewhat bulky piglin, with netherite pieces of armor personally cobbled up after spending large amounts of time scrounging even more of the already rare netherite. It carries a claymore partially covered in spores (Crimson or Warped depending on the biome it's in) Which it uses to defend its bastion. When it swings its claymore it releases some spores, healing nearby piglins. It would be best at 130 HP (A little more than a golem or ravager) With good armor, having a chance to drop some netherite scrap or a claymore fragment, an item which can be crafted with nine into a claymore blade, which then can be added with a smithing template and a netherite sword on a smithing table to create a netherite claymore, or with an axe to make a netherite battleaxe. The crafted claymore or battleaxe would be very slow but do high damage. It wouldn't have a special ability, and the claymore and battleaxe can mine stuff the same as a netherite sword/axe. The piglin skirmisher would spawn in a new boss arena in the treasure bastion.

    Yes, there should be new piglins liek an idea is netherite piglins; basically piglin brutes but they will not attack you if your wearing full netherite unless you attack another netherite piglin. The netherite piglins will be like piglin brutes and will have like a 50% chance of spawning 1-2 scattered in a bastion. Also every crimson forest will have like a 50% chance of spawning 1-2 piglins too. If 2 piglins are spawned there will be a 1/3 chance of a third one being added as-well. These piglins will be willing to trade op items for netherite ingots and will have a small chance of wearing netherite armor. They will also have 100 health points tooo.

    I think if there's a neutral pigmen and hostile pigmen like how they're wild boars and domesticated pigs.
    in real life pigs have a stealth Gene that allows them to revert to a wild state so what if, the nice domesticated pigman naturally live in village groups and when they get isolated from other Pigmen they turn feral, like wild boars or even they turn into the piglins that live in the nether.
    maybe when they turn into wild boars they get zombified in the overall world and they need to stay in the nether.
    which explains why zombified piglins have hoarding mob mentality when even just one is attacked, and they just retained that from life as a pigmen. even the wild boar men have hoarding mob behavior.
