Cowardly Mobs

It would be interesting to add a mechanic that makes humanoid mobs (like pillagers) run for their lives when they're about to die and have no friends to help them out. I think it would bring more life to the game overall and give it way more variety.

Just imagine how satisfying it would be to make an incoming raider retreat in fear.

    This could also make it harder to kill the mobs. when you hit some passive mobs they run around a whole bunch, maybe something like this instead. But I do like you idea better

    I think this is great! maybe add this mechanic to all hostile mobs like zombies and skeletons, have them run away when they realize you're gonna win

    This should also happen for piglins (but not the brutes). They do this with hoglins so why not players?
