Husks are Hostile Mobs that were added in Update 0.15.0.

Spawning

Zombies that spawn in Deserts have an 80% (4/5th) chance to spawn as a Husk.

Behavior

Husks are stronger types of Zombies. Husks appear to be Zombies with dark gray skin and yellow ragged shirt and headwear, with brown tattered pants. They do not burn in Sunlight, unlike regular Zombies, and inflict the Hunger I Status Effect to any Player they land a successful attack on.

Combat

Husks can easily be defeated using a high-tier Sword, however, the Player should carry a lot of Food due to the Hunger effect they inflict. To avoid this from occurring, the Player can also attack using a Bow.
