The illusioner is an unused hostile mob exclusive to Java Edition. It can only be spawned using spawn eggs or the /summon command. When killed, they will drop 5 experience if they were killed by a player or a tamed wolf, and they also have a small chance of dropping their bow. If they are a raid captain they will also drop their banner.

The illusioner will attack players, adult villagers, iron golems, and wandering traders, and is the only mob that can detect a target through a wall. The illusioner is equipped with a bow, and its attack patterns are more or less identical to those of a skeleton. If it is attacking a player it can also use two different magical attacks.

When an illusioner first attacks a player, it will inflict the player with 20 seconds of the Blindness status effect. It will usually not use this attack on the same player twice. After the effect wears off, the illusioner will make itself invisible and create four clones of itself. The clones will face the same direction as the real illusioner, and will move more or less in step with it. They cannot hurt the player and cannot be killed, but the real illusioner will still be able to damage the player and be damaged, even though it is invisible.
