Zombie Pigman
The Zombie Pigman (Plural Zombie Pigmen) are Neutral Mobs in Minecraft, meaning they won't attack you unless you attack them first. These are spawned when a pig is struck by lightning in the Overworld, but spawn commonly in the Nether. They spawn in groups of 4, but sometimes groups come together to form larger groups. They carry Golden Swords and are combinations of Zombies and Pigs.
Zombie Pigmen become hostile when hit, however, hit one and all other Zombie Pigmen in a 32 block radius become hostile towards you. These, like Zombies, are lethal in groups. Staying 16 blocks away from them for 20-40 seconds will revert them back to neutral status.
In Minecraft Pocket Edition, Zombie Pigmen heads are all skull instead of part flesh and part skull. Whether this is a glitch or meant to happen is unknown currently.
Zombie Pigmen have a chance to drop Gold upon death, making Gold a renewable resource.
Mob Drops:
0-2 Rotten Flesh (Upon death)
0-2 Gold Nuggets (Upon death)
0-1 Gold Ingots (Upon Death) (Rarely)
0-1 Golden Swords (Upon death) (Rarely)
