Parched

Mobs & entity

The Parched is a hostile mob that spawns naturally in the Desert. A spawn egg for it also exists, so it can be placed without waiting for it to appear in the wild.

Players fight the Parched and collect what it drops when killed: arrows, bones, and tipped arrows.

Stats

Mojang publishes these numbers in the Bedrock behaviour pack (bedrock-samples); the Java edition keeps them in code, not in any data file. Most values match across editions, but not all — treat them as the Bedrock figures.
