Animations
5 of these were recorded inside the running game, so the movement is the animation Mojang shipped rather than an imitation of it. Transparent background, free to download.
Gallery
9 variants of this mob, each animated. Rendered here from the game’s own model and textures.
Sounds
7 sound events for this mob, 30 files in all. Where an event lists more than one file the game picks one at random. Volume, pitch and attenuation are the values the game declares in its own sounds.json.
