Nether Boss

Nether is really empty and it needs an update to bring it back to life why not add a Boss to it??? A big creature that is like a squid fish (has many arms) and comes out from the deepest level of lava in the nether and can break blocks (like wither) and if you touch it you will be set on fire so you HAVE to use long range weapons in order to take it out.(I still have no idea about it's drops and how are we supposed to collect them maybe you guys find a better way to implement it) sorry for bad English

    Would you summon this boss, or would it just be a general hazard?  All other bosses like that need to be summoned, so I would hope that this one would be too.  Especially if it can break blocks.

    The other thing is the nether might be tame to you, but there are other people who are still terrified of it.

    I think the wither is technically a nether boss, since you summon it with things from the nether.  It just can be summoned in any dimension, so people don't necessarily associate it with the nether.

    it should be a general hazard cuz nether is too neutral (except for fortress) and it only appears near lava oceans so... if you keep your distance you'll be safe

    I would love to see something added to the Nether such as this. The Wither is kind of a boss in a sense, but it is spawned outside the Nether. I feel like adding a "mini-boss" to the Nether would solve this, and instead of spawning the Wither with soulsand, there would be a special block the mini-boss would drop. The Wither would also have to be spawned in the Nether.

    i think maybe it would spawn when you kill 100 of a nether mob.

    I agree a nether boss is needed. The bastions are destroyed. What destroyed them? What did the Piglins fight? A boss could answer this.

    What if the Nether boss was a Piglin King/Warrior? Something that might spawn in the bastions to make them more difficult (I think the Piglin with the giant flail from CaptainSparklez "Take Back the Night" music video is a good example).

    I Wouldn't say a new nether boss could, sense mojang tends to set the wither as the nether boss. Maybe a piglin chief In the bastions who wields a guilded netherite sword? But @Floridafam also gave me the Idea of a new Event: The ambush.

     

    My Idea Is to add yokai as the nether's counterpart to Illagers, with splash potion using, sword wielding bakenekos and their kitsune chief replacing your typical vindicator, as well as Beautiful and deadly okamis who summon non-destructive yet explosive fireballs along with their spirits as replacements to the evoker. Even massive Onis who wield axes and nekomatas who use bows with poison AND weakness arrows and potions to aid themselves replacing your ravegers and pillager army.

    They could drop new their weapons as well as new totems, like a totem of will that Increases damage when you lose health, alongside new potions and brewing Items.

     

    You could find "hungry camps", where yokai and hostile wraiths live. And entering a bastion With bad omen, which can be given In the nether by killing a okami shogun, which Is just an okami with a banner, will trigger an ambush.

    The wither is the boss of the nether. But I would enjoy a new nether boss.

    For those that are saying that the Wither is the Nether boss, I disagree. The Wither can be spawned anywhere it is placed. Now if you could only place it in the Nether, I would agree with it being a Nether boss. However, it is not exclusive to the Nether. Previously, you could only place the Wither in the Overworld (food for thought). 

     

    I would say a good Nether boss would incorporate one of the biggest aspects to the Nether...lava. The Nether boss could be a massive lava/stone monster (great concept of this would be the Redstone Monstrosity in Minecraft Dungeons). This "Nether Monstrosity" would be summoned from the giant lava lakes. Because of the Nether Monstrosity size, and preference to lava, players would need to find higher ground to fight it. The Nether Monstrosity could throw boulders at the player, shoot fire, and slam the ground (causing players to be tossed into the air and knocked backwards. Minecraft has a serious lack of boss fights. And the two that are in the game currently are pushovers. Players want a challenge.

    It would be nice if the boss of the nether had an undead look like a piglin fresh out of lava dressed in gold with a weapon that can drop you, that summons blazes and piglins.

    I would like to see a giant lava squid in a little temple arena in the Lava oceans of the nether. You would need a strider to get there and it shoots fire balls at you and swings with it's tentacles after you. If you kill it you would get lava leggins that resemples the tentacles and let you swim in lava. It would have 1400 health (700 hearts), the fire balls deal 6 damage (3 hearts) and they set you on fire, the tentacles would deal 10 damage (5 hearts) and they would throe you and your strider up into the air. The strider wouldn't get hurt from this

    ps. i think it should drop loads of XP and it should drop nephrite ingots

    oh maybe what's missing is the wither should be stronger in the nether and weaker in the overworld and end so maybe the overworld lacks something!
