A **trampler** is a [hostile mob](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Hostile_mob) that only spawns alongside [illagers](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Illager) in [raids](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Raid) and [illager assaults](../../mechanics/illager-assault). It attacks [players](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Player), adult [villagers](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Villager), [wandering traders](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Wandering_trader) and [iron golems](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Iron_golem) by biting, charging, and running at them. A trampler can also get stunned when blocked by a [shield](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Shield) while it was charging.

## Spawning

Tramplers have a 25% chance to spawn being ridden by a [piker](piker), [conquillager ](conquillager)or [inquillager ](inquillager)as part of a raid or an an illager assault.

## Drops

Trampler's have a 50% chance of dropping a [saddle](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Saddle).

## Behavior

Tramplers are hostile toward [players](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Player), [iron golems](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Iron_golem), adult [villagers](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Villager) and [wandering traders](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Wandering_trader) within a 32-block radius.

They attack similar to polar bears, by rearing on their back legs and mauling down with their front hooves.

A trampler can also destroy some some [crops](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Crops) by galloping into them.

Tramplers do not attack [pillagers](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Pillager) who shoot at them by accident, and do not attack [evokers](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Evoker) when [evoker fangs](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Evoker_fangs) accidentally hit them. When a trampler gets shot by a mob that battles with a projectile while it is attacking the player, the trampler first attempts to kill who shot it, then goes back to attacking the player once the deed is done.

Any trampler can join a [patrol](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Patrol) if sufficiently near a [patrol captain](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Patrol_captain).

### Charging

Tramplers have a chance of performing a charging attack, where they stay on their position, moving their legs, before charging at their target at high speed. If blocked by a shield when charging, they'll be stunned for a couple of seconds, unable to move or attack.

## Trivia

* Tramplers are based on the [war horses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conquistador#Weapons_and_animals) used in the Spanish conquests of America.
  * The reason why they are [ravager](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Ravager)-like creatures instead of a hostile horse variant was because [Spain's](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spain) [national animal](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_animals) is the bull and the ravager are said to look like bulls themselves.
    * Tramplers can then be seen as a less powerful and more agile version of ravagers.
    * The reason why tramplers are not more bull-like is to prevent confusion with regular ravagers and because the mod author believes that the illagers looks better riding a horse-like mob in raids and assaults, bringing in mind of the Spanish conquests better.
    * The tramplers are also added to give illagers a proper steed that's not as strong as ravagers.
* The Black Book theorized that tramplers are made similarly to ravagers, but with weak or disgraced illagers instead of villagers.
  * This can be inferred to how the trampler has two separate angry eyebrows like illagers instead of a singular mono-brow.
