I used /summon cow ~20 ~-1 ~20 in a superflat world in a repeating command block and all the cows that got launched out started walking back to the center.
It affects at least the following mobs:
Bee
Blaze
Cat
Chicken
Cow
creeper
Evoker
Ghast
Goat
Hoglin
Husk
Illusioner
Mooshroom
Ocelot
Panda
Parrot
Pig
Piglin
Piglin Brute
Pillager
Polar Bear
Sheep
Skeleton
Stray
Strider
Vindicator
Villager
Wandering Trader
Warden
Witch
Wolf
Zoglin
Zombie
Zombie Villager
Zombified Piglin
It is very interesting to watch with witches because they drink a potion then start walking to the center
