Lightning is a weather-related phenomenon in Minecraft, often occurring during thunderstorms. And if the Mob is hit by lightning, it will suffer some effects.
Similar to real life, Lightning in Minecraft is also a weather phenomenon when it is stormy. Lightning bolts are not harmless, they can affect blocks, players, and even mobs anywhere they hit.
Of course, different entities will be affected by Lightning differently. Some don’t take damage or die, but can activate some features or transform into a rare form. Typically the following Mobs.

Skeleton trap horse
Whenever it’s like a storm and lightning strikes, there’s a high chance a Skeleton Horse will appear. These are extremely rare entities. If the player tries to catch them and gets hit by another bolt of lightning Bone Horse Trap will be activated.
This trap will consist of four skeleton horsemen attacking the player with enchanted bows and arrows. However, they will not leave a special loot after being defeated but the player can preserve rare Bone Horses, turn them into passive mobs, and ride them after death.

Pig
One thing that very few players know, especially newbies, is that when lightning strikes, a child pig will turn into a pigman zombie.
However, this can also be done manually with the help of a trident with the Channeling enchantment. They will act like normal pigs and become dangerous only when provoked.

Creeper
Creeper will become charged Creeper whenever they are struck by lightning. Although they can be found in the wild, this is very rare. In particular, a trident with the Channeling enchantment can also create them.
Charged creepers are much more dangerous because their explosive power is higher than normal compared to the regular variant. Also, whenever a charged creeper blows up a zombie, skeleton, or other creeper by exploding, their head will drop out as loot.

Villager
The villagers would have died when judged, but they could still turn into witches. Interestingly, even a villager baby can turn into a little witch if hit by lightning. Notably, the Iron golems do not attack these witches because they were once normal villagers.

Mooshroom red and brown
Mooshroom red is a rare passive mob that only spawns in rare mushroom field biomes. However, they can turn into a brown, even rarer variant when struck by lightning. Furthermore, the brown mooshroom can also turn into the usual red variant when struck by lightning.
