Overview
A husk is a desert zombie that does not burn in sunlight, so mornings in a desert are still dangerous. Its hits inflict Hunger, draining your food bar and stopping natural regeneration exactly when you need it. Drop a husk into water and it converts into an ordinary zombie after thirty seconds. Otherwise it behaves like a zombie: slow, persistent, able to break wooden doors on Hard, and it calls other zombies to it.
Husk is one of the hostile mobs you will meet in Minecraft 1.21.4. Health sits at 20 points (10 hearts). It deals 3 damage on Normal difficulty.
Expect 5 experience per kill.
