[MC-127250] Drowned Chicken Rider is invincible and doesn't attack player

Steps to reproduce:

Let a Zombie drown to get a Drowned Chicken Rider
Try to hit it - no effect
Stay in front of it - it won't attack

Some remarks:

Screenshot attached
The Drowner wasn't spawned by Egg or by Command, it was a "regular drowned Zombie"
The Drowner was at night converted from a Zombie by pushing the Zombie ito the sea
Meanwhile it was daytime and raining
The rider didn't do anything special except having the usual chicken idle movement.

Did you test that when it was daytime? That might have been MC-127294.

Finally was able to confirm (took a while to get one of those, haha). Day/night makes no difference, the chicken seems to always control the drowned, and both of them cannot be attacked.

If you want to have some fun, use seeds to make the drowned chicken rider follow you.

Also, the drowned chicken rider is the only chicken rider that's not a baby.

Non-chicken jockey zombies will never start to ride chickens when converting to drowned. Baby drowned can still ride chickens though when spawning, and then they are not invincible anymore.
