Created Issue:
Wandering trader never becomes zombie villager
Even when killed by a zombie on hard difficulty, wandering traders never become zombie villagers, despite being a villager-type mob.
What I expected to happen:
The wandering trader would become a zombie villager
What actually happened:
The wandering trader just died
How to reproduce:
- Summon a wandering trader
- Summon a zombie
- Let the zombie kill the wandering trader

If wandering traders should become zombie villagers, they should (let go of their llamas and) become a nitwit zombie villager. If you look right under the wandering trader's clothing, you will see the exact clothing of a nitwit, so their true identity should be revealed when they become zombified. Curing this zombie villager should result in a typical village nitwit to make sure that other wandering traders will spawn. Wandering traders really are nitwits; they would trade a single seed if you give them an emerald!
We do like the idea, but at the moment this is a feature request, not a bug.
