Overview
Drowned patrol the sea floor and climb onto beaches at night to reach players on shore. The dangerous ones carry tridents, which they throw for 8 damage from well outside melee range, punching through unshielded armour fast. They are the only renewable source of tridents and nautilus shells, and they drop copper. They burn in daylight only if not in water, and they will drag you down if you fight them while swimming.
In Minecraft, Drowned is classified as a hostile mob. It has 20 health points, or 10 hearts. On Normal difficulty each hit costs you 3 damage.
It is worth 5 XP.
