Bogged (mob)

Not to be confused with the video game, Fogged.
A bogged is a skeleton variant covered in moss and mushrooms that spawns in swamps and mangrove swamps. Bogged behave similarly to skeletons, but attack at a slower rate and shoot tipped arrows of Poison.
== Biology ==
== Spawning ==
Bogged can spawn in swamps and mangrove swamps in groups of four, and trial chambers via trial spawners.
=== Trial spawners ===
Bogged have a chance to be selected as the "ranged" mob for trial spawners in trial chambers.
== Behavior ==
Bogged behave the same as normal skeletons and shoot tipped arrows that inflict Poison for 4 seconds (dealing 3 damage) on any target that they hit. When shooting their bow, bogged are just as fast as skeletons or strays, but bogged have a longer cooldown between attacks. The cooldown is 3.5 seconds on Easy and Normal difficulties, or 2.5 seconds on Hard. This is 1.5 seconds slower than the skeleton's attack cooldown.
Unlike regular skeletons, bogged in powder snow take freezing damage and do not convert into strays.
Being an undead mob, they are:
* damaged by the status effect Instant Health and healed by the status effect Instant Damage.
* unaffected by the status effects Regeneration and Poison.
* ignored by the wither.
* affected by the Smite enchantment.
* unable to swim in water, but do not drown.
* a threat to armadillos, causing them to hide in their shell.
== Trivia ==
* In real life, human corpses can become mummified within peat bogs, with levels of preservation varying from perfect to just the skeletons. These are referred to as bog bodies.
* Bogged in Bedrock Edition inflct ten seconds of Slowness with their melee attack if submerged underwater.
