Unless they are holding an item or are blocked, the Husk will apply the Hunger status effect to any player who is hit. This effect lasts for a base time of seven seconds, which increases with the difficulty level.
The Husk replaces 80% of the Zombies in the various desert biomes and can only spawn on the surface. Husks in the Bedrock Edition have the ability to spawn underground in desert biomes.
