Steps to Reproduce:
Leash any non floating animal
Attach the lead to a happy ghast
Wait for the happy ghast to fly up and get back down
Observed Results:
The happy ghast almost always damages the leashed mob when it touches the ground, regardless of speed.
Expected Results:
The happy ghast is not fast enough to damage leashed mobs by floating down.
Notes: Although their movement speed is faster when wandering around, changing it to match their speed when ridden by a player still causes the leashed mobs to take damage.
