	[[Minecraft:Zombie]]s, [[Minecraft:husk]]s, [[Minecraft:zombie villager]]s, [[Minecraft:zombified piglin]]s, and [[Minecraft:piglin]]s wielding spears have unique attacking behavior. When attacking, they use the spear's charge attack while moving ~~towards~~ their target. They hold the charge through its full duration, using all 3 stages. Once the charge attack has ended or they get too close to their target, they walk away to increase the distance between them and their target before turning around to begin another charge. These are also the only mobs which can naturally pick up spears.

	When wielded by any other mob, such as [[Minecraft:skeleton]]s, they instead use the spear's jab attack when in melee range. Like players, the 2-4.5 blocks attacking range applies to these mobs as well. The Lunge enchantment will also take effect for these mobs.
