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.

Appearance
Zombie Villagers appear like 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 be turned 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 will wear the robes they were wearing when they were Zombie Villagers.
