What if Husks were somehow connected to The Wither, the Plague, and the Ancient Builders?

[thick warren]

So, I got this theory or Headcanon/story that the Husks were actually more involved with the Wither, and that the Undead are more unified that we thought.

Like this:
The Husks were Ancient Builders who fled to the Desert, searching for the Stronghold. Along their journey, they lived Nomadically, rarely settling in one place.
Despite their combat-ready nature, their downfall was inevitable — they're running out of food.
Eventually, some of them became desperate, and they practiced one thing that we, as humans, fear — Cannibalism.
They also have evolved from Zombies because of Natural selection.
And have spreaded the Virus/plague even further into the Desert Biome.
And the Undead could've been under the influence of the Wither via the Virus, thus making a new faction: The Undead Faction

the wither is trying to make things "wither away" and a virus that kills you but then brings you back to life as a zombie makes no sense. also why would they be looking for the stronghold? wasn't the purpose of it being underground is so it is hidden?

[thick warren]

Well, this is actually where the Wither came in too.
In a video from another Theorist, they said that the Wither was the cause of this catastrophe.
So the Ancient Builders are looking for the Stronghold in order to escape it.

[thick warren]

And actually, it's quite simple.
The Ancients Builders are dying, and fast because of the Wither.
So they're trying to stop it

there's no overworld evidence the wither ever existed and was a threat.

if the other Theorist is matpat then forget about it because its going to be false.

[thick warren]

Hm... I see...
But I never it was from the Overworld though

What if it's actually from the Nether and was summoned by the Ancient builders then?

[fervent barn]

it it was in the nether then why would they run to the stronghold in the overworld?

if it

if its in the nether then it stays in the nether. otherwise we would see evidence the wither was in the overworld. which we don't see.

[thick warren]

Hm... I see...
But could it have been at once summoned by the Ancient Builders in the Overworld? Perhaps by a splinter of the faction that wants the Wither's magic, but instead payed the price?

Like maybe a splinter of the faction that went to the Nether in search of the Soulsand and killed the Wither Skeletons to get their skulls, and summoned the Wither in their homeland: The Overworld?

[fervent barn]

we would see the withers roses from killing mobs and explosion holes from it attacking

i agree the wither was summoned but only in the nether which it stayed

i think husks are just dried zombies and there skin is so dry it makes them immune to the suns rase. that's why they turn into normal zombies when in water. there rehydrating.

[thick warren]

Hm... That's certainly more possible if we're considering the Heat of the desert.

But still though, mine's also a Headcanon for a reason

And besides, wouldn't normal zombies burn there based on game evidence?

[fervent barn]

yah but still its a dry place to at night or in shadows they can still dry out and become husks

[thick warren]

I see...

But still though, the focus here are Husks, and how probable is this, if you're considering?

And yeah, after re-thinking it for awhile, I've updated the theory lol.

[thick warren]

Also, maybe the virus is from the wither itself! Like maybe it's the withering effect, some people call them "plague" or "virus" because it's definably one, but maybe it's more of a necromantic practice of some kind.
Still though, I'm gonna say it's a virus
