Minecraft Riddle #4

[BopI]

A simple one this time

So you are going around in a full diamond armor set (not enchanted) and walk by a river after a thunderstorm. Suddenly, something comes up from behind, and explodes. You are instantly killed, and you go back to the place you died. A skeleton head is on the ground, and the crater is much bigger than a creeper's.

What did it?

And a bonus: How much damage did it do, considering the fact that the explosion does 97 damage but you are wearing diamond armor

Hint: Use a calculator, use this equation
defenseReductionInPercent = damage × 2 ÷ ( ( toughness ÷ 8 ) + 1 ). and round to the nearest hundreth.

ANSWER TO FIRST QUESTION

Gonna guess it’s probably a charged creeper
A thunderstorm can change certain mobs by striking them with lightning, and a creeper is one of those specified mobs. A charged creeper does way more damage than a normal creeper and creates a larger crater.

ANSWER TO BONUS QUESTION
Since no-one has answered it yet,

Spoiler: Don't copy this :/

53.77
defenseReductionInPercent = damage × 2 ÷ ( ( toughness ÷ 8 ) + 1 ).
defenseReductionInPercent = 97 × 2 ÷ ( (20 (the toughness of a full set of diamond armor) ÷ 8 ) + 1 ).
defenseReductionInPercent = 194 ÷ ( 2.5 + 1 ).
defenseReductionInPercent = 194 ÷ 3.5.
defenseReductionInPercent = 55.43
97 x 55.43 = 53.77
Damage taken: 53.7671 (still enough to one-shot 2 players)

Since I don’t know what’s with the skeleton head clue, here’s a second possibility:
May be a wither
They can shoot heads, but really it doesn’t matter the weather so that crosses out a clue. The heads can be more powerful than the normal ones if charged up cuz the wither is low on health. This is an unlikely solution tho because it doesn’t mention the player getting the wither effect lol

Yep, its a charged creeper al right. The wither idea is weird but cool. Imagine a wither one-shorting a player with full diamond armor XD
But anyways, when a charged creeper explodes, any mobs that have mob head drops will drop their corresponding head. (a skeleton that is killed by a charged creeper explosion drops a skeleton head, a zombie that is killed by a charged creeper explosion drops a zombie head, etc. Unfortunately, if a charged creeper explodes next to an ender dragon, no ender dragon heads pop out. Sad )

And then lets see if you can figure out the bonus question (but you don't need to do it )

Wow did you know when a shucker is closed, it has the same defense points as a full set of diamond armor?
