	[[Minecraft:Zombie]]s, [[Minecraft:husk]]s, [[Minecraft:zombie villager]]s{{only\|JE}}, [[Minecraft:zombie horsemen]], and [[Minecraft:camel husk jockey]] riders can spawn wielding iron spears, while [[Minecraft:piglin]]s and [[Minecraft:zombified piglin]]s can spawn wielding golden spears. These spears have an 8.5% chance of dropping upon death, increased to a maximum of 11.5% with the Looting III enchantment.

	It is also possible to get the golden spear from a piglin by dropping a [[Minecraft:crossbow]] or [[Minecraft:sword]] nearby, which the piglin will swap its spear for. It then requires precise timing to pick it up before the piglin does.		In the case of zombie villagers, their iron spear can also be obtained by curing them into a [[Minecraft:villager]]. When cured, the iron spear is dropped onto the ground.
