Zoglin Guide

Bring a hoglin to the Overworld and this is what you get.

Rotten flesh surrounded by a zoglin spawn egg, a hoglin spawn egg, a warped fungus and a shield on crimson nylium
Quick answer
  • A hoglin in the Overworld or the End turns into a zoglin after 15 seconds.
  • Zoglins attack nearly every mob and player around them.
  • Warped fungus doesn't scare them, and they can't be bred.

Zoglins are zombified hoglins. They're what happens if you take a hoglin out of the Nether.
