Since the fix for MC-304213, Zombie-type mob now enter a player-like animation (with both arms hanging straight down) when holding a spear in their offhand.
Steps to Reproduce:
Summon a zombie with a spear in the offhand.
Observe the zombie's arm animation.
Notice that the zombie's arms are hanging straight down, identical to the player's state, rather than being stretched forward like a normal zombie.
