The glow lichen zombie spawns rarely in the deepslate layer of the world. It gives the blindness effect on hit, and drops glow lichen and the sightless eye. Watch out, it can easily make a large fight much more difficult.
What a spooky mob… just look at those black eyes. A terror of the deep caves for sure.
History
