[[File:animals_preview.png|260px|right|thumb|Some of the many animals from ''[[Minecraft]]''.]]
The term '''Animal''' refers to a category of [[mobs]] that are mainly based on real life animals. Mobs mentioned on this page are classified as {{cd|Animal}} or {{cd|WaterAnimal}} in the game code. Many other mobs and even some [[block]]s are also based on real life animals, but are not treated as such in ''Minecraft''. Most of these mobs are also called animals in many [[advancements]]. The blocks are not listed on this page.

Animals are usually either [[Mob#Passive mobs|passive]] (fleeing) or [[Mob#Neutral mobs|neutral]] (fighting), with the only exception being the [[Mob#Hostile mobs|hostile]] [[hoglin]].
