Fungus Thrower Piglins from Dungeons

The Fungus Thrower Piglins from Minecraft Dungeons were really fun. We should add them to main Minecraft as a rare mob in the Nether Forest Biomes. They throw the (unobtainable) poisonous Blue Nethershrooms at players who do anything to anger them (same as angering a normal piglin), and Red Nethershrooms at Piglins and Piglin Brutes who are at %50 health or lower. Both have a 2-3 second cloud effect. Blue poisons just the player, and red heals just the Piglins. They can barter for food items, since they are said to be chefs in that game.

    The mushrooms should be obtainable, because it would be fun to actually throw explosive things at hostile mobs.

    Continuing from where I left off: Fungus Throwers participate in Hoglin hunts, but they do not attack Wither Skeletons because those are unaffected by poison. Instead, they focus on healing the Piglins and Piglin Brutes fighting the Hoglins. Like Zombified Crossbow Piglins, Zombified Fungus Throwers aren’t smart enough to use their ranged weapon. They just attack with their fist. If a blue Nethershroom hits a Strider, the Strider is healed.

    Sorry, I meant Wither Skeletons, not Hoglins.

    It would also eat a red Nethershroom to heal itself if it’s health was less than %35. This would heal more health but take a minute to eat. This is an optional behavior, doesn’t have to be added. Might make it too much like the Witch, actually.
