A bogged is a skeleton variant covered in moss and mushrooms that spawns in swamps and mangrove swamps. Bogged behave similarly to skeletons, but attack at a slower rate and shoot tipped arrows of Poison.

Spawning

Bogged can spawn in swamps and mangrove swamps, as well as in trial chambers via trial spawners.

Natural Spawning

• In Java Edition, they spawn in groups of four at a light level of 0 and can spawn both underground and above ground.

• In Bedrock Edition, they spawn in groups of 1--2 at light levels 0 through 7, meaning they can spawn during the day in mangrove swamps where the overhead canopy is dense enough, but they cannot spawn underground.

Trial spawners

Bogged have a chance to be selected as the "ranged" mob for trial spawners in trial chambers.

Drops

On death

Item		Roll Chance	Quantity (Roll Chance)
			Default	Looting I	Looting II	Looting III
	Bone	100%	0–2	0–3	0–4	0–5
	Arrow	100%	0–2	0–3	0–4	0–5
	Arrow of Poison	50%–93.75%	1 (50%)	1 (75%)	1 (87.5%)	1 (93.75%)

• Naturally spawned equipment is damaged when dropped. An enchanted bow has an 8.5% chance of dropping if killed by the player or a tamed wolf (9.5% with the enchantments Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II, and 11.5% with Looting III). The equipment list is identical to that of the base Skeleton.
  • Bogged spawned from ominous trial spawners do not drop their armor on death.
• Picked-up items always drop and drop with the same damage level it had when picked up.
• 5XP experience orbs when killed by a player or a tamed wolf, and an extra 1–3XP orbs for each piece of natural equipment that does not drop upon death.
  • Because all bogged spawn with at least a bow, this means that an unarmored bogged drops 6–8XP if it does not drop its bow upon death.

Shearing

A bogged drops 2 mushrooms when sheared. Each individual mushroom has an equal chance of dropping as either a brown or red mushroom. Afterward, it cannot be sheared again, and the mushrooms growing from its head are permanently removed from the bogged.

Behavior

A bogged attacking the player.

Bogged behave the same as normal skeletons and shoot tipped arrows that inflict Poison for 4 seconds (dealing 3HP damage) on any target that they hit. When shooting their bow, bogged are just as fast as skeletons or strays, but bogged have a longer cooldown between attacks. The cooldown is 3.5 seconds on Easy and Normal difficulties, or 2.5 seconds on Hard. This is 1.5 seconds slower than the skeleton's attack cooldown. A bogged holding a tipped arrow or spectral arrow in its off-hand always shoots that type of arrow instead, and the arrow held is not consumed.

Unlike regular skeletons, bogged in powder snow take freezing damage and do not convert into strays.

Being an undead mob, they are:

• damaged by the status effect Instant Health and healed by the status effect Instant Damage.
• unaffected by the status effects Regeneration and Poison.
• ignored by the wither.
• affected by the Smite enchantment.
• unable to swim in water, but do not drown.
• a threat to armadillos, causing them to hide in their shell.
