	Parched mostly behave like normal [[Minecraft:skeleton]]s except that they shoot extended [[Minecraft:arrows of Weakness]] instead of normal arrows, have their cooldown between each [[Minecraft:bow]] shot longer than normal skeletons at every 3.5 seconds on Easy and Normal and every 2.5 seconds on Hard, and they do not burn in sunlight. Parched are also immune to the [[Minecraft:Weakness]] effect, although this typically makes no effective difference since parched attack using projectiles, which are themselves not affected by Weakness.

			=== Picking up items ===
			{{main\|Geared mobs#Picking up gear}}
			Some parched spawn with the ability to pick up dropped [[Minecraft:item]]s from the ground. Unlike [[Minecraft:zombie]]s, however, they pick up only weapons, [[Minecraft:shield]]s, and armor. {{IN\|Java}}, parched pick up items that they happen to walk near. {{IN\|Bedrock}}, they actively search for and walk towards dropped items.

			If the picked up item is a [[Minecraft:weapon]] (other than a bow), the parched uses the item as a melee weapon. Parched do not pick up [[Minecraft:spear]]s under any circumstances. {{IN\|Java}}, parched prefer bows over other weapons, and do not pick up other weapons while wielding a bow. {{IN\|Bedrock}}, the only weapon a parched will swap its held bow for is a [[Minecraft:sword]]. When picking up weapons, parched prefer ones that deal more damage ''without considering enchantments''. They also prefer weapons with NBT data over those without, and weapons that are less damaged.

			If the picked up item is a shield, the parched equips the shield into their offhand. It cannot use the shield to block incoming attacks, however.

			If the picked up item is [[Minecraft:armor]], a [[Minecraft:carved pumpkin]] or a [[Minecraft:head]], the parched equips itself with the item. Parched prefer armor that give more armor points, and will replace their current armor with it. Parched pick up cosmetic wearables (heads and carved pumpkins) as long as they aren't wearing a [[Minecraft:helmet]], and will replace the cosmetic wearable if they find a helmet.

			If a parched has equipment and picks up something they prefer more, the parched drops the old equipment, with the same chance as if killed with Looting I{{Verify\|Is this still the case in both Java and Bedrock?}}, in favor of the new one.

			A parched equipped with a picked-up [[Minecraft:item]] becomes persistent and does not [[Minecraft:despawn]], similar to being [[Minecraft:Name Tag\|named]].
