In Minecraft, zombies can transform into 'drowned'—underwater variants that haunt oceans and rivers. This transformation is rooted in their history as ancient builders who became undead. Initially shunned by their kin, zombies formed their own society underground. Over time, they developed a deep resentment towards the builders, leading to nightly attacks. One zombie, Drew, accidentally became the first drowned after seeking refuge in the ocean to escape the sun's burn. His transformation was furthered by experiments conducted by ancient builders who captured him. Drew's body adapted to underwater life, gaining unique abilities and eventually leading an army of drowned against the builders. His legacy continues as he wanders the ocean, seeking revenge.
