The Snagrab

This is an idea that I had that I think could become a really cool mob for the waters of Minecraft. The mob is called the Snagrab. The name is a combination of snag, and grab, both words representing what it does to other mobs and the player, it also kinda sounds like a Pokèmon name. My goal is to get this mob in the game to make the waters more...exiting!

So this is what I had in mind. A mob...that looks like a carnivorous plant...that lives underwater....but also has to come up for air every 5 minutes....and when you float over it in the sea, river, pond, or streams, it will release it’s long...uh...just gonna assume it’s a tongue...it’s tongue..and will pull you down to it’s mouth and try to eat you....sounds cool right?

The Snagrab’s name is the name I gave it. I wanted to give this mob a weird name because I want there to be more fictional creatures in the game...makes it seem...Minecrafty. I came up with Snagrab because... it snags you and is hidden...and it also grabs you with it’s tongue. This mob looks like Mob A from Minecon Earth, and also looks like something from an Alien movie. It has razor sharp teeth, and looks like a plant with a huge mouth. It cannot move. It stays in one place. It is one block wide, and one block tall. 

It has many different ways of attacking the player and other mobs...oh....it also can grab and attack other mobs. If a mob floats near or above it, I will be grabbed and dragged down to be drowned..and then eaten, and not one mob knows that this mob is a mob (that’s a lot of mobs). It will grab a player or mob when the player or mob is about 5 blocks in range from it (this is how close you get to it, you cannot get five blocks in range to it, no matter how far you are away from it, you cannot get five blocks in range from it, even if you are flying). It’s long tongue can basically grab you from anywhere...even on land and in the sky. It’s tongue can stretch to the skies! Once you are pulled down..you will begin to run out of air. When it pulls you down to where it is, all you can see is a creature trying to grab onto you with it’s teeth meant for trapping. If the thing it is trying to drown is to strong and keeps attacking it, it will spray toxic fumes that will poison the player or mob.

This thing can spawn anywhere where there is water, but can only spawn on a flat surface in the water. It also needs to come up for air every now and then, because the fumes it has in it’s body...are even powerful enough to kill itself. Air helps the fumes release into the air above the water, so when you go by a pond, you could get poisoned because of the polluted air. It will then swim back down to where it was, or it can move to another place (about 50 blocks away from where it was before).

When the creature drags you down to where it is..you will be treated with a large mouth with many teeth which can hurt you while you are drowning. This creature has about 10 Hearts, as much as the player. Looking down and hitting it will damage it...but if you attack..it will start to spray it’s deadly fume.

This mob could be a cool hostile edition for the seas!
