For some reason, Endermen do not like Endermites. Endermen will begin to attack Endermites that are spawned from pearls.

Endermites spawned from a Spawn Egg will only be attacked in the Bedrock Edition. In the upcoming Caves and Cliffs update, Java Edition Endermen will also attack Endermites spawned from eggs.
