Everything to know so far about Parched and Camel Husks coming to Minecraft Mounts of Mayhem

In the snapshot 25w44a, Mojang added a new skeleton variant called Parched. This is a desert-themed variant that will occasionally spawn in the desert, replacing regular skeletons. This means that both regular and Parched skeletons can spawn in the desert.

Similar to every hostile creature, they can spawn at zero light level, but not underground in a cave. Like zombie husks, these new skeleton variants will not burn in sunlight either.

Since Parched is a skeleton variant, they shoot special arrows of weakness that put a weakness effect on players. Weakness effect reduces the melee attack damage by two hearts per hit.

Camel Husk

Camel Husk is a brand-new undead camel variant coming with the Mounts of Mayhem game drop. In the bi-annual live event, Mojang revealed that the zombie horse is coming to survival game mode in the next game drop. However, they did not give any hint that they might also add an undead camel variant as well.

This is the first variant of the mob, and it will look drastically different from a regular camel. While a regular camel is yellow beige in color, the Camel Husk is a lot darker, almost like a dark brown color. Similar to zombie horse, Camel Husk also has its ribs visible.

The mob only spawns at night in deserts, on blocks that have zero light level. It is an uncommon mob that spawns with two riders: a zombie husk wielding a spear, and a Parched skeleton. Once its mounts are dead, the Camel Husk becomes passive. Its favorite food is rabbit food, but it cannot be bred.
