Zombie Illagers

Listen, if the Illagers are like the outcasts of the village, why aren't they attacked by Zombies? They're obviously living Humanoids, like the Villagers.

A Zombified Illager would have the same attacks and stuff as their non-zombified counterparts. (Examples are Spell-Casting Zombies, fast zombies with axes, maybe even an ILLUSIONER Zombie, etc.)

They seem pretty useless, yeah, but WHAT IF: They had a new special drop... The Totem of Dying. It's pretty simple. 95% chance that when you hold it, it will give you a Withering III effect, but the rest of the time you could use it as a deadly weapon. Holding it gives you an effect called "Zombie Force", which makes any zombies within a 10x10 radius of you become passive and attack hostile mobs for you.

Any feedback is welcome!

    I don't like the Totem of Dying mechanics you described, but the genera idea is good. Maybe the Totem of Dying could be added to your sword in an anvil for a special enchantment called Withering which affects the mobs you hit with Wither III. I could go with the effects you described if there was something in there like what I described.

    Also, I thought the zombified Illagers could possibly have the same built-in armor as a zombie does (2 points) in addition to their normal health.

    By the way, I designed some zombie Illager textures a while ago and posted them on PlanetMinecraft, the link is here. You can use these, but make sure to give me credit if you do.

    This makes sense, there is no biological difference we know of between them, other hostile mobs should attack them, or at least be deterred by the illager beast as an explanation for why there not bothered.

    I think that this idea if fun! But what would happen if you cure a zombie illager? Would it just attack you, or thank you by turning to the villagers side? It would be cool to have a reformed evoker guarding my village!
