# Special zombies

Special zombies are uncommon entities which can spawn in games with same options as [General zombies](/ragemode-docs/zombie-game-guide/general-zombies.md) and special abilities like skills. You can even make these zombies a boss, so for example, they have 500 health with unique armour/weapon set and abilities. There are many ways to customise these zombies. Unfortunately, you have to do it manually by editing the configuration files.

## Features

* Includes same features as [General zombies](/ragemode-docs/zombie-game-guide/general-zombies.md)
* Chance to spawn this zombie
* Option to control how many special zombie can spawn
* Option to define whenever they can forget their target
* Option to add pre-made abilities
* Option to append a custom bossbar
* Option to add custom [potion effects](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Effect)

* `chance-to-spawn` - The chance ranges between `0-100` to spawn this special zombie
  * Set to `0` to disable
* `amount-to-spawn` - Controls how many special zombies can be spawned with the same type per wave
  * The value should range between `0-100`
  * If this set to `0` this special zombie won't be spawned
  * Type a fixed value `amount-to-spawn: 5` or a random value with min-max limit `amount-to-spawn: 5-10`
* `chance-to-forget-target` - The chance between `0-100` that this special zombie will forget their current target
  * Set to `0` to disable
  * Forgetting the zombie target is checked every 3 game seconds, so there is a

    higher chance that the zombie can forget it immediately after spawning
  * Zombie can not forget their target if they has line of sight
  * The ideal chance value should be set between `0.1` and `10`
* `abilities` - The list of [abilities](/ragemode-docs/zombie-game-guide/abilities.md) (skills) that this zombie can do in game

* `give-potion-effects` - The list of [potion effects](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Effect) to give for this special zombie after spawned
  * Clear this list or give 0 chance to do not give any effect
  * Syntax: `[chance(0-100)] <effectName> [amplifier=value] [particles=logical] [ambient=logical] [icon=logical] [duration=value(seconds)]`
    * `<>` - required
