The taiga hills was a hills variant of the taiga that no longer generates since Caves & Cliffs: Part II, and was removed in Java Edition.

Description

Like all other hills biomes, taiga hills featured more elevated and hilly terrain, with sharper inclines and more overhangs than the regular taiga, but were identical to them in every other aspect. Villages and pillager outposts didn't generate in this biome‌[Java Edition only], though wolves and foxes still spawned.

Mobs

Taiga hills used the same mob spawning chances as taigas.

The following mobs spawned naturally here:
