Undead is the most popular category of mobs in Minecraft, especially when it comes to hostile entities. These are essentially dead creatures that still move about and look alive. All those who have played the game must've encountered at least one undead mob in their adventure.
These are special entities that are completely opposite to the living. Hence, they get hurt by Potion of Healing and gain health through Potion of Harming. Apart form Zombies, all undead mobs are immune to drowning as well as poision damage.
Minecraft also has some special enchantments like Smite that particularly increases attack damage of melee weapons against undead mobs. As of yet, there are 16 undead mobs in the game, all spawning in different locations and with different behaviors.
