Cerberus Boss (Edit)

Honestly, after all the years. Minecraft has been around, the Nether sometimes can feel lackluster, since it has been a while since it’s been updated. Something else that hasn’t been updated in a while is bosses(the elder guardian doesn’t count). The wither, as cool as it is, feels a little dated. So if we want a new boss, it has to be something fresh, and tied to the Nether and things of the sort. What other to fit the bill than Cerberus, the guardian of the underworld in Greeek mythology. It could perhaps spawn in special areas in Nether Fortresses, or in its own unique structure. It could attack you by biting close-range or breathing fire and shooting fireballs at a distance.  It could summon in some kind of black dog things to attack you. I not sure what it could drop, though I think it should be somewhat valuable to give players incentive to fight it.

Edit: To help deal with players that use fire resistance, it could have a pounce attack at long range to get closer to the player.

    I love this idea, it actually helps me because i was about to make my own post on cerberus. I saw from a youtuber about the new info lately from mojang asking what kind of fantasy mobs people would want in minecraft. This is just what i was going for. However, i would like to add to it a bit. I think it makes sense for this boss to be pretty big like the myths talk about and the pictures show. Lets say about 8 or 10 blocks high, maybe? Also, as for drops, i think it should drop meat from itself. There is good and bad things this meat can do. Again these are just ideas but if the meat is still raw then eating it will give bad effects such as wither and nausea, and if it is cooked then it can give effects such as healing and regeneration. It is sorta like rotten flesh and a golden apple in one because of these effects, lol. Anyways, you also said that the drop should be something useful, so how about adding the bosses collar? This collar can be put on in the helmet section of the armor but of course show on the neck of the skin somehow if someone wants to wear it. This collar will allow the player to summon his/her own black dogs as minion when fighting, that and/or the player can summon a smaller version of cerberus as a pet also for fighting or companionship, however, once done the player cannot wear it so the player will need to make a decision, well that, or just kill another cerberus, lol. I hope these ideas are helpful. Like i said you don't have to but you can use them and edit this post of yours. Hope it was helpful though.

    I actually was just about to suggest this.

     

    BTW, I noticed a typo: You said Greeek mythology (you put 3 e's instead of 2 in Greek).
