The Fallen Souls

  As far as we know the Soulsand Valley has no mobs as of the moment (at least unannounced) which is why I bring you the Fallen or Lurkers. This mob will spawn only in the soulsand valley in the darkest of corners. These wither-skeleton/zombie like creatures live in the Soulsand valley and have some interesting mechanics and roles such as capturing and transforming you into soulsand. 

  There are different types of the Fallen mob, there are "Lurkers" and then there are "Withering". The Lurkers are much bigger and stronger than the withering. The Lurker will patrol the soulsand valley (albeit rare) and will stalk the player, if spotted, the lurker will sprint towards the player and will either attempt to kill them or capture them. If killed, the lurker will take any droppings and take them to its den; if captured, the lurker will take the player to the den where they'll meet the withering. 

 The "Withering" hide inside the dens and never leave unless the lurker is killed and will have to migrate to a new den. The Withering are much smaller but are still player size, and just as dangerous. Although they have less health, they can still gang up on the player. When a lurker takes a player to it's den, the withering will attempt to kill the player and transform you into soulsand and take your items to their "treasure chest". 

 The dens in which the withering spawn in are the size of a house but are built within the sides of the valley making them hard to spot due to their 1x3 entrance. The den will consist entirely of soulsand blocks and is dimly lit by a blue fire. The Withering will look much like the lurker but much smaller and mostly consist of bones with black raggedy and torn clothes with souless eyes and scorched frowning/screaming faces. The Lurkers are much like wither skeletons but are broader and slouch. They also consist of scorched bones and flesh with dark torn clothing resembling robes. They carry around a big stone sword that deals 3 damage, the Withering only deal 1 heart. 

  Although these enemies are quite rare, they make traveling through the soulsand valley much scarier and more interesting as these creatures have a soul purpose of entrapping unwanted souls. Thank you for reading and maybe this could be taken in by any members of Minecraft team. Good luck and have fun out there. :)

    UPDATED DENS

    Dens will be underground but close enough to hear. The mobs will still have their normal functionalities but as far as the dens go, they'll be right underneath the player's feet. This'll make the Lurkers wander further out in more open areas while the player can continue their quest.

    When captured by a Lurker, the Lurker may have to break a block or two to get in but once you’re inside, there’s no way out. You’ll only be captured if you’re low on health.

     If killed, your items will be hidden within a type of soulsand called "Soulified Sand" where different items including your own may be hidden. Just place the sand and break it to see what it drops. Because they're hidden and have different drops, the soulified sand won't stack. This new type of soulsand will be found in a chest within the dens along with bones, gunpowder, and other soulified sand with other items from “past” explorers.

    Why transform in Soul Sand, I think it would be more epic, if the "Withering" would transform the player in another Withering instead of soulsand.

    Great idea but what if the withering captures the players soul. This will cause them to be teleported to a new dimension known as the bog of lost souls. Thieves place is mostly made up of ruins of a fallen civilization made out of blackstone with occasional soul fire. Here the player will also find lost souls which are mobs the player has killed with a blue tint. Every mob is passive until the player looks at them. This will cause them to turn dark Antron where they’ll attack the player. In order for the player to escape they have to find a wither kill it get its soul star, and drop it into soul fire.
