Elite monsters in the wild: their tiers, where they appear, abilities, affixes and drops.

About 1.5% of the monsters that spawn naturally become elites: more health and damage, a name and a glow, special abilities, affixes and their own drops. Stronger tiers are rarer and only appear further from the world spawn (never within 150 blocks of it). Elites never appear in claims, from spawners, in the arena or with the bosses. Kills count for the Elite Slayer achievements.
Monsters that can become elites: Zombie, Husk, Drowned, Zombie Villager, Skeleton, Stray, Bogged, Spider, Cave Spider, Wither Skeleton, Piglin Brute, Vindicator, Pillager, Witch, Enderman, Blaze.
The share of elites of each tier is computed from the configured weights (among the tiers a spot allows).
