LxlpWhile a great deal of entity types can be used in MythicMobs, each one of them can have its quirks, and it is needed for every configurator to be aware of those quirks in order to minimize the damage they might cause or, in general, to better use the entity.
The following is a list of every quirk that has been currently discovered. The more mainstream and obvious problems will not be covered at this time, and only the niche ones will be treated. If you discover any other, let us know on our Discord
Mobs by Group
All Zombies
Can spawn as leaders, having several times the amount of configured health.
All passive animals
Could get aggroed by other entities.
All breedable animals
They can usually be fed by some item and, subsequently, try to breed.
This can be handled by intercepting the event ~onBreed (and then either cancelling it or some other mechanic) or completely prevented by using the Age option
Most bosses
Have an hardcoded ai or some other hardcoded features.
Entities damaged by water
Affected entities include Enderman, Snowman and Blaze.
The damage type in those instances if of the DROWNING type, and can thus be fully prevented by using a negative value for it as a DamageModifier or by using the following skill

Does not get targeted by default by multi entity targeters, and a specific filter must be used.

BEE
When allowed to randomfly, it will enter placed beehives and pollinate flowers.
No definitive answer exists, apart from clearing its AI and building a new one.
