Petrified mobs

The pale Garden should have a chance to Spawn / Generate "Petrified mobs"

Sticking with the spooky feel to the Biome these mobs could add a little more atmosphere when wondering around. I could see this working in two different ways: 

1. The "Petrified mobs" are not actually mobs, but more decoration. These would have a stoney and mossy look to them, like the mobs has been there a very long time (Maybe from not being able to look away from the creeking and hence has been stuck in place). This would give the player a reason to go there many times as we hunt for these collectible items, having a way to have stone creepers / zombies ect. in our worlds. 

2. These act like the usual version of the mob with a little difference. These are naturally slower due to the petrifying effect on them. Not distracting too much from the Creeking fight already being faced. But these mobs could have a few unique attributes such as creepers, when exploding give you slowness, or spiders giving blindness once they bite. 

My preference is the first one but let me know what you guys think

    What if both? when you kill a petrified mob(from 2) you get the decoration(from 1)?

    I think it would be a great idea to have petrified mobs. They would have a very low spawning chance and have the effects you mentioned in 2, and could be a trophy mob to collect like the brown mooshroom. I don't think Mojang would add 1, for similar reasons to why they won't add furniture. Lore wise, it could be that the "something wrong" the corruption if you will, has began to overtake mobs slowly. Certainly a interesting idea.

    My thinking now is that it can lead to a new potion? A potion of Petrification? Then we don't limit the amount of mobs you can have this petrified decoration off. For example with the potion you could get the decoration of a dolphin without having to create the right spawning conditions. 

    I'm also thinking there could be an interesting dynamic with the endermen involved in this? Since the endermen get mad at being looked at and the creeking cant look away they seem like natural enemies to me. Maybe luring one to the other could spark an interaction that would drop "Petrification powder" and this is what we use for the potions? Which luring an enderman or creeking can present danger in itself so could be a fun concept?
