 Description   

With armor equipped with the thorn enchantment, some attacks from mobs will not always hurt them. This is best found with spiders.

It should be noted that this seems to happen more often with mobs which have weaker attacks (note that spiders have a higher attack rate than most mobs, but are also weaker) - it might be due to rounding error making Thorns less effective against weaker mobs - and entirely ineffective against silverfish, which deal only half a heart of damage.
