Worth capturing rather than killing. Hit a zombie villager with a splash potion of Weakness and feed it a golden apple and it shakes for a few minutes and converts back into a villager, permanently discounting its trades, sometimes down to a single emerald.

In Minecraft, Zombie Villager 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.
