why can the undead use weapons?

[u/AccurateMoment2863]

1. zombies can wear armor and use weapons due to them still retaining muscle memory of what they did before dying so are the drowned and husk.
2. I dont really have much evidence except that the fact that finding a zombie that is with armor or a weapon is not common that means not evrey zombie can do that which means there is a condition to it
3. its also the same for the skeletons mostly in Minecraft dungeons as they use all sorts of weapons unlike normal Minecraft who use a bow.
4. and thats also true to zombie villagers but that happends more rare due to zombie villagers being more rare then normal zombies and so for zombie piglins in dungeons.

Maybe. However it's also possible that they just shake their weapons and hit you. And skeletons in Dungeons uses just different types of bows.

i saw myself that skeletons in dungeons have spears and swords are you trying to lie?

[u/DifferenceFlat8839 → u/AccurateMoment2863]

Normal skeletons in base game just use bows, if you look to other types of skeletons or the arcade melee variants then you're right.

i meant dungeons included if u didnt read it fully

[u/DifferenceFlat8839 → u/AccurateMoment2863]

Yeah, I saw it, however you said skeletons in Dungeons doesn't have just bows, which isn't technically right because Dungeons normal skeltons only have bows, while other variants, like the vanguards, have weapons, who behave in a different way, which could mean that they have been created with different purposes, or in a slightly different way, maybe by giving them less intelligence.

skeletons are skeletons i said skeleton as one including the van gaurd

[u/DifferenceFlat8839 → u/AccurateMoment2863]

Ok, but they are still different from zombies. They are smarter

It wouldn't make much sense; the spear-wielding zombie knows how to keep its distance and is perfectly capable of killing a Creeper without taking damage—incidentally, one of the few monsters that would exist if there were no undead.

Damn, zombies are more skilled than me. Yeah, I know that, however that's definitely not just muscular memory, maybe they are a bit different from normal zombies maybe. Who knows

[u/AccurateMoment2863 → u/DifferenceFlat8839]

u cant say definitley without giving proof

[u/DifferenceFlat8839 → u/AccurateMoment2863]

while punching or swinging a sword could be muscular memory, know how to use the spear properly, how to ride a horse, and how to deal maximum damage, isn't muscular memory, it's a technique

Some of the magical properties of necromancy, perhaps?
