Minizombie paired with the new zombiehorse + spearwielding-zombie combo

Minizombie is the most dangerous of all zombi species. It's also the smalest. I love the idea of husk camel with two enemies on it's back that both wield a different weapon. The combined artillery (the partched), fastnes (the camel husk) and the melee attack (the zombie) really provides some chalenge in a natural way since all of us know that a camel can be riden by two entities. Could it be possible to do something similar with the zombie horse? Unfortunatelly, a horse can only be rided by one entity. But in case the other rider would be very small? This was my thought proces that resulted to minizombie + normal zombie + zombiehorse combo. 

Different ideas how this could be executed:

1) The zombie could  hold minizombie in it's hands and throw it on you when you get close each other. Flying minizombie!

2) Minizombie would only be released after you have killed the mount, perhaps only ocassionaly. One horror idea: the minizombie lives inside the zombiehorse and release itself from the stomatch by cutting it open with dagger (a new rare weapon, could fit well to the theme of Mayhem) or then just with a traditional sword. I know kids play minecraft also and, in anycase, it isn't purposefull to show graphic violence. I believe the idea could be executed a bit-scary, but not too-scary way as previous updates proved with creacing etc. Not blody way, but rather decayed way, It would also be a change to add first realy cinematic mob spwaning animation, with a good storytelling element.

  Mojang has had the trend of avoiding to chance any old things that have remained unchanged from the start of the game and have became classic (thanks to preserving policy). Still, a game needs to change and go forward. Mounts of Mayhem is a great example that you can add new functions to old mobs and make them challenging and better fitting to the modern versions of the game whitout needing to change their classic appearance. 

  Regarding to my idea where minizombie crawls from the stomatch of a dead zombiehorse:

  This would be a great way shake up the fan base and show that Mojang can still suprise. It's not as much a technical way that could interrupt the old game mechanics and cause unbalancing (and therefore need long considering before it could be accepted or rejected). No, it's a background story. A cool moment, think it as a new cool new texture for an old block, or something comparable. We all love stories. This could be one way to shake up the community a bit and give the update more viewers. 

  If the player watches the standing up minizombie the camera would zoom in and show a closeup of the zombies face when it uplifts it's dagger... before it charges to you! A new camera mechanic could be so cool (and a minizombie may otherwise be left whitout proper focus because it's so small and night is dark in forests)
