Zombie Villager

Zombie Villagers are Hostile Mobs that were added in Update 0.12.1. They have a chance to spawn when a Zombie kills a Villager, depending on the difficulty. They may also rarely spawn naturally. In Update 0.15.0, Zombie Villagers may spawn in a Zombie Village in place of Villagers.

Appearance
Zombie Villagers look a little bit like normal Villagers. However, their skin is green and their eyes are reddish-brown. Their robes appear as tattered versions of those of which they wore before they were converted.

Combat
A Bow can be used to fight Zombie Villagers, though an Iron Sword or above can also be useful. Some caution is needed though, because if a Zombie Villager is found near a Village, chances are the whole village population may turn into Zombie Villagers and may gang up on the Player.

Curing
Zombie Villagers can be 'cured' by splashing them with a Potion of Weakness and then feeding them a Golden Apple. This will convert them into Villagers after 5 minutes, and they will wear the robes they were wearing when they were Zombie Villagers.

Trivia

 * When cured, they appear to be having the Nausea Status Effects, and while being cured, they will have Strength I on Easy and Normal Difficulty and Strength II on Hard Difficulty.
 * While in the process of being cured, they can still burn in sunlight. Thus, it is recommended that the Player lure them into a sheltered area.
 * 5% of all Zombie spawns are Zombie Villagers.
 * This includes using a Zombie Spawn Egg.
 * The Zombie Villager Butchers have slightly raised eyebrows.
 * When a Zombie kills a Villager, the chance of the Villager becoming a Zombie depends on the difficulty. On Easy, it is 0%, on Normal, it is 50%, while on Hard it is 100%.
 * Zombie Villager Spawn Eggs do exist. However, they are only obtainable through inventory editing and through commands.
 * The command to get the zombie villager spawn egg is /give @p spawn_egg 64 21
 * Since Zombie Villagers will try to attack the Player, and can be cured, it's theoretically possible to lure/coach them to a place of the Player's choice and use them in a farm handled by a Villager.
 * As of Update 0.15.0, it is possible to use a Tipped Arrow of Weakness to cure a Zombie Villager.
 * It is possible for a baby Zombie Villager to spawn riding a chicken as with regular zombies.
 * In Update 0.16.0, Zombie Villagers have a chance to drop their weapons, if held.
