DISCLAIMER: Yes, this may have been suggested before. Yes, a few ideas came from other people's posts. If you see your idea up here, kudos to you.
You know how lightning has special effects on certain mobs, like turning pigs into Zombie Pigmen, or supercharging Creepers? I was just wondering what could happen if other things experienced such transformations. Mostly for the lulz, but if you see something you would like in-game, let me know.
Cows: Turns them into Werecows; got this idea from another post, can't recall the title. Similar to Zombie Pigmen, but unarmed and hostile to all mobs nearby. Mobs killed by werecows leave no drops. Has higher leather drop rate than normal cows, and maybe could drop cheese, if it gets added (you would still mainly make cheese yourself; this was analogous to ZPs leaving cooked porkchops) Original concept had it able to steal items, but I'm not sure if it really should.
Chickens: Notch implied he may add bats if he adds flying mobs, so maybe a lightning-struck chicken could become a bat? Doesn't make a lot of sense, I know, but so does the concept of lightning-strike induced transformations.
Wolves: Either turns them into werewolves, which are pretty much slightly stronger hostile wolves with a hunched semi-upright model (credit to original creator of the idea). Alternately, it just makes them hostile regardless of prior alignment and surrounds them with an aura similar to the one on Creepers when struck, making them a wee bit more dangerous.
If you have an better ideas, feel free to share them. No flaming, please, this isn't really meant to be serious. Credit again to the people that came up with the Werecows and Werewolves; sorry that I forgot your names.
What about when the dies, it comes back as a and vice versa.(with the zombies there could be a 50% chance of it turning into a zombie pigmen, or remaining a zombie and turning into a on death)

Violent videogames don't make people aggresive, LAG does

that's not really the topic, but struck Zombies getting turned into Skeletons might make sense...
Spider: Turns into Jumping Spider. Its main ability, aside to large speed and wall-climbing, is to jump at enormous heights, of like 8 blocks or more...So don't get scared if you'll see a giant spider on your castle's tower.

Interesting... what would it look like?
I'm not Dark but I think it should look like a widow spider. You know, the one with the red hourglass on it's back.

Zombies: Probably nothing.
Skeletons: lightning aura + slightly stronger arrows, maybe?

I am all for a full range of lightning effects on mobs.
