Documented for Invasion Mod 3.0.0 on Minecraft 26.3 / NeoForge.
Combat profile
Entity ID: invmod:zombified_piglin_thrower. A separate Tier 2 Thrower with base melee damage 15, movement speed 0.23, 25 XP and a ranged combat goal reaching up to 90 blocks. These are base values, not fixed damage or health for every wave. Configured base stats, tier and wave scaling can change combat values.
Behavior & projectiles
Like the Big Thrower, it targets defenders at range, advances toward the Nexus, attacks it and clears blocking terrain. Tier 2 ignores knockback. Mining and other supported behavior follow the ability settings. It has its own model, texture and Zombified Piglin sounds.
Every throw uses invmod:lava_boulder. Hitting a block or entity triggers a power-4 explosion. If mob griefing is permitted, it also attempts to start fires: each affected position has an 80% fire roll, still subject to normal fire-placement checks. This does not place lava source blocks and does not create the living iron-ball mob.
The thrower itself is fire-immune. Unlike the regular Thrower and the Big Thrower’s Tier 2 TNT attack, its explosive projectile is specifically designed to ignite terrain.
Zombification
This is the result of a Piglin Thrower’s zombification, but it can also spawn directly. Turning off Overworld Piglin conversion neither removes existing zombified throwers nor converts them back.
Spawns & waves
Use invmod:zombified_piglin_thrower_spawn_egg to spawn this variant directly. No natural vanilla-mob replacement creates this Thrower. It is an active, non-boss wave entry by default, with base cost 26; the living variant costs 30 and the zombified one 26.
Both belong to the built-in NETHER, SIEGE, RANGED and MIXED pools, plus RANDOM and RANDOMHELL. The supplied editable defaults also list BRUTES. Ordinary purchases require enough remaining phase budget (initially wave × 10), so base-cost purchases first fit in wave 3; selection is random, not guaranteed. RANDOM and RANDOMHELL instead price these non-boss mobs at 5, so wave 3 is not a universal minimum. Active modes, themes and custom roster settings affect availability. See invasion modes.
Drops
The inherited Thrower death-loot hook adds one Small Remnants item. This is not the vanilla Piglin or Zombified Piglin loot table.

Compare the Piglin Thrower, Thrower and Big Thrower. The ordinary Zombified Piglin is a different mob family.
