Bastion Remnants are home to some of the most dangerous mobs in Minecraft:

  • Piglins (with or without armor)
  • Piglin Brutes
  • Hoglins
  • Magma Cube

Piglins, Piglin Brutes, and Hoglins will spawn upon generation of the Bastion Remnants, and will not naturally be despawned until they are killed. Piglin Brutes will call other nearby Piglins to help if they are attacked. Hoglins can be bred with Crimson fungi, and are the only hostile mob that is breedable.
