What is the most common hostile mob in Savanna?

Creeper, Skeleton, Slime and Spider share the highest spawn weight among the hostile mobs: 100 of 520 (19.2% each) in Java Edition.

Are Savanna spawns different in Java and Bedrock?

How do spawn weights work in Minecraft?

Each spawn attempt first picks a category (for example hostile or passive mobs), then one mob of that category at random, weighted by its spawn weight. A mob's chance is its weight divided by the total weight of its category in the biome — so the shares in each table add up to 100%.
