An Underwater Skeleton Variant

The burbled - a new underwater skeleton, similar to a drowned. It would convert from a skeleton to a burbled, similar to zombies. The parched could convert to the skeleton, and the skeleton would convert to the burbled. The burbled would shoot arrows of drowning -- a new effect that makes your breath meter go down faster. It would be brewed into a potion from a prismarine crystal, and crafted into splash, lingering, and tipped arrows like normal. Drowning (the effect) would make any entity with the effect able to drown if it could not before. Also, burbled would rarely use tridents, always dropping them upon death.

  The idea is really good, but skeletons shouldn't be able to shoot arrows underwater and that's a problem, and since we already have a drowned with trident it seems pretty useless to have a skeleton variant. I still would like this to be implemented just in a different way

  It could be like the sunken skeleton in Minecraft dungeons, and it could come with a harpoon crossbow (or bow).

  One thing I couldn't add to its wiki page is the spawn biomes. Here they are: Lukewarm Ocean, River, Ocean, Warm Ocean, and Deep variants.
