Swamp Charger

Swamp Chargers are hostile melee mobs that spawn naturally in the Overworld.

Spawning
Swamp Chargers spawn naturally in swamp-type biomes in the Overworld.

They will only spawn during the day, and like most other mobs; their spawning can be prevented by placing torches or other lighting blocks nearby to raise the light level above 7.

Behavior
Swamp Chargers are melee mobs that will follow targets both on land and in water. They will initially attempt to avoid getting into the water where possible, but will go in if they find no other path to their target. While they do try to avoid water, Swamp Chargers retain their full movement speed if they do go into it. This makes them harder to escape than other mobs.

They are aggressive, and will attack nearby players within 16 blocks without provocation. If attacked by another entity, they will retaliate and continue targeting that entity.

Staying outside of their targeting range will prevent them from attacking or targeting entities.

When running, Swamp Chargers do not handle quick turning very well. They require a short distance to slow down, or to take a wide turn. This allows players more easily outmaneuver them.

Unique Abilities
When a Swamp Charger successfully attacks an entity, it will apply slowness for 2 seconds.

Experience
Swamp Chargers drop experience when killed.
