[[File:undead_preview.png|right|thumb|Various undead mobs.]]
'''Undead''' mobs are a group of [[mob]]s in ''[[Minecraft]]'' that share a number of characteristics. Thematically, these mobs are dead creatures that are still animate.

== Common properties ==
All undead mobs share the following properties:
* They are damaged by {{EffectLink|Instant Health}} and healed by {{EffectLink|Instant Damage}}.
* They are not affected by {{EffectLink|Regeneration}} and {{EffectLink|Poison}}.
* They take extra damage from [[Smite]].
* They do not take [[drowning]] damage. ([[Husk]]s and [[zombie]]s instead turn into zombies and [[drowned]], respectively.)
* They are not targeted by the {{EntityLink|wither}}.
* They are part of the {{cd|#undead}} [[entity tag]].
* They scare [[armadillo]]s and make them hide in their shell.

Several undead mobs catch fire under [[sun]]light, a property not found in any other mobs, and are also able to transfer the fire to the player after inflicting melee damage.

== Trivia ==
[[File:Giant in a cave.png|thumb|A giant in a cave.]]
* Despite the [[giant]] being an oversized variant of the zombie, it's not considered an undead mob.
* Despite the [[ghast]]'s ghost-like appearance, it is not considered an undead mob.<ref>{{bug|MC-190140|||Invalid}}</ref>
* The [[warden]] was classified as an undead mob in [[Deep Dark Experimental Snapshot 1|experimental snapshots]]. This property did not carry over to its official addition in snapshot [[Java Edition 22w14a|22w12a]].
* {{IN|Java}}, all the undead mobs except for the horses are classified as [[monster]]s in the code, however, {{in|bedrock}}, they are part of the monster category as well.
* Although undead mobs share the {{cd|#undead}} [[entity tag]], the tag is not responsible for their shared properties.
