In MC:PE the Wither Boss has version-exclusive spawn and death animation

A common complaint I have seen regarding the Wither is its death animation. It dies not different than any other mob; it just falls over and turns into smoke.

On the latest MC:PE beta build, the Wither was added. However, the Pocket Edition developers decided to tweak all of its animations.

When the Wither is spawned, it begins to spin at an increasing rate until it gains full health. During this time a loud pulsing noise occurs. The normal explosion still occurs.

When the Wither reaches half health, it begins to spawn Wither Skeletons and has an overlay similar to the charged creeper, just like the other versions. Except this overlay is slightly different and has a tweaked color which IMO looks better.

When it dies, it freezes in its place and becomes larger. It cannot attack during this time. After a small amount of time, it explodes like when it spawns and it drops the Wither Star.

I am glad that the developers paid attention to detail and added all of these neat tweaks and features.
