What causes the zombification of the zombified piglings and zoglins? What are magma cubes? How do the blazes even work? Why can skeletons spawn but not zombies? What causes the skeleton to become wither skeletons?

Why are the Hoglins even aggressive? What is the difference between a pigling and a pigling brute?

Witches use potions that use things from the nether, how did they get them?

Why can endermen spawn in the nether? Why are there even endermen outside of the end?

Im know I'm asking a lot but I mean it as In really like your headcanons and I'm not trying to make you answer all of that, I'm just dropping of some questions about the nether. You don't have to answer them but if you find any of them interesting then be my guest

Strider are reptiles that need to stay warm. Though they eat warped mushrooms, the forests are too cold for them to live in, so they have to avoid them.

The zombification of zombified piglins and zoglins are mostly caused by cold. Magma cubes are cubes of fire essence. Blazes are firespirits. Skeletons spawn because they have literally no feeling left in them. Wither skeletons are a different species in my head, but if they were transformed from skeletons, they’d be morphed due to the Nether’s spirit.

Hoglins are aggressive because they have to be. The Nether is a harsh environment. Just look at wild boars here. Piglins and piglin brutes are the same species, the brutes are just the leaders.

Witches get the potion ingredients by scavenging broken portals.

Endermen spawn in the Nether, and Overworld, because they are curious creatures. They enjoy exploring and finding new places, even if these places may kill them, similar to players. I like to imagine Endermen as cats, curiosity sometimes kills them.

Hoglins and Zoglins? Superb! Wonderful giant hellspawn! I want 50 of them in a nether farm type thing and i want to be able to ride them around like horses! WHY AREN’T THEY TAMEABLE?!

Creepers? Cute little guys, they were pigs that didnt turn out great when coding? Happy little accidents. They get anxious when you go near them and blow up (relatable af)

Sheep, cows, pigs, soulles eyes but also no thoughts. Window screensaver going around in their heads, just lil guys living their lives.
