How can we improve the existing moving creatures of Minecraft? Show us your coolest fantasy creatures. We are very interested in ideas that are unique and not just lists of mobs - spamming lists of animal names is spam and violates our posting guidelines.

(Underground) Lifeforms

Hostile mobs:

  1. whip spider:
    Spawns in caves, some mine shafts, and rare spawner rooms. the whip spider will use it's large pincer looking mouth to grip it's victim, immobilizing it while it feasts. can be killed like normal spiders.
  2. Cave dweller:A creature that has no eyes or pigmentation because it only lives in caves. It uses antennae to listen for it's pray. This strange creature also uses clicking sounds to hear the shape of the cave, like echo location.

 Passive mobs:

  1. Cave fish:
    A small fish built for a cave life stile. the lack of light means that they don't need eyes, or color for that matter, in fact those features use up too much energy, energy that they need to survive due to the small amount of food they find. They use moving water to feel any obstacles that may be present, similar to echo location.

    Handy suggestion: If you're going to add a picture, why not add a picture of what they would look like in game instead of the real thing? :)

    I could try to, maybe I'll try sketching it then scan it to the computer Nova "inkycatz" Barlow. Thx for reading this post! Did you look at the posts I made in the structures, NPCs, Blocks/Items, Code/Commands, and Redstone sections yet?  They all have (Underground) in the title.

    Yeah, just figured I'd pop in with a suggestion! We're always looking at ways we can help people improve their suggestions, and focusing less on adding real pics when an in-game picture would be so much more helpful came to mind.

    Did I Actually predict the Warden and the Axolotl?

    Maybe? The Warden doesn't use echolocation, but you had a pretty solid guess. You might have been a source of inspiration. When developers see ideas like that, though they likely don't directly implement them, it might get them thinking about those concepts and kind of "day dreaming" about how such things might look like in the game. What you've described is pretty different in design from the Warden, but the concept of listening for "prey" could definitely be inspiring and spark a lot of ideas, in this case how the Sculk and Warden work and appear adapted to their surroundings. It's a lot of small ideas like this that can create features :)
