Lost Soul

The Lost Soul as it appears in Snapshot 3B

### Hostility

Towards Players, Iron Golems, Villagers, Wandering Traders and in response to being attacked

## Miscellaneous

### First appearance

Snapshot 3A

Lost Souls are mystical glowing hostile mobs that spawn in the outer End islands. Their body shape is suspiciously similar to that of a player.

## Spawning

Lost Souls can spawn out of an Enderman in the outer End islands with a range of 101 through 128 (you can learn more about the spawning system in "More Mobs" here). You can learn more about how Endermen spawn here.

You can also summon a Lost Soul using this command: /function imm:summon/imm/lost\_soul. You can obtain a Lost Soul Spawn Frame with this command: /function imm:spawn\_frame/imm/lost\_soul. Make sure to replace the 'imm' portion with whatever version you're playing on if your version is older than Snapshot 3C (example: Snapshot 2A = imm2a).

## Behavior

### General

Lost Souls will pursue players, Villagers, Wandering Traders, Iron Golems and baby Turtles on sight from 40 blocks away, as opposed to 16 blocks in most other hostile mobs. They will attempt to avoid obstacles, including sheer cliffs, water and lava, and will try to find the shortest path towards their target. If the Lost Soul is attacked by another mob it will attack it in return.

The Lost Soul is technically an undead mob, but will not drown. However, it will stomp Turtle Eggs and sink in water.

### Transforming

If a Lost Soul spawns inside of an End City, it converts into a Shulker with a bizarre sound. The Shulker is white and glows briefly producing a sparkling particle effect. Its only difference from other Shulkers is the color.

## Fighting strategies

At this stage of the game players should be prepared for fighting Lost Souls. It's easy for a group of Lost Souls to form while you're fighting one, but if you keep your distance and have a strong weapon on you it shouldn't be a tough fight. Additionally you can just try the pillar trick.

## Drops

As with all mystical mobs, the Lost Soul has to be killed by a player to drop:

* 1 Corrupted Soul
