Ideas to create neutral/passive illagers

Firstly, congratulations on the announcement of counterparts to the Ghast—it’s a fantastic addition that expands the richness of Minecraft’s universe! Building on this momentum, I’d like to propose an exciting concept for next year’s update: passive or neutral counterparts to the Illagers. These new mobs could offer a more dynamic and engaging interaction with the Illager faction by serving as tamable allies for players. Imagine a friendly Illager-like mob that could provide combat support, such as fending off hostile threats or even patrolling and defending your base while you’re away. Their neutral nature would add strategic depth, requiring players to earn their trust through unique methods, such as offering specific items or completing cooperative tasks. With customizable behaviors or roles, they could cater to various playstyles, from exploration-focused players to those who prioritize base-building and defense.
