New Hostile Jungle Mob: The Mossy Skeleton

As Mojang Said, the wanted more fantasy mobs in the game. I would like to introduce the Mossy Skeleton

The Mossy Skeleton, is a new hostile mob that spawns in Jungle Biomes. It is similar to the Skeleton, but stands 2 blocks tall. This accounts for the fact that in the Jungle, everything is overgrown. The Mossy Skeleton is different from normal skeletons, because it shoots poison tipped arrows at the player. 

Instead of dropping arrows like Normal skeletons, it would drop poison tipped arrows.

Also, Mossy Skeletons spawn in Jungle Pyramids, guarding the treasure.

I think this adds more diversity to the Jungle, making it stand out from the other biomes, as currently the Jungle is the worst biome in the game.

    Cool idea, although I disagree with your slander about the jungle. It is easily the most packed, diverse biome: parrots, jungle wood, jungle temples, bamboo, pandas.

    I think the structures spawning in the jungle could do with a revamp but other than that, the Jungle is pretty awesome as is. This idea is basically like having multiple biome-based skeletons as we already have a snowy tundra one and the idea of having a few different variations may be a good way to introduce tipped arrows. Since they barely get used or made, so reminding the player these arrow variations exist may help get them used. I do suggest these have clothing similar to the snow biome ones, like a cloak of some kind? Green hood? This way the constant rain wouldn't effect it. (Skeletons are already 2 blocks high.)

    Sounds good but jungle temples must have some swanky loot if they're going to be guarded by skeletons

    Simple and ingenious! Love it! Increased AI would be cooler or these guys too. They could easily climb vines (and try to in order to get an advantage against players)

    I think it should be a bit like cave spiders, at easy difficulty no poison, normal poison for 2 seconds and hard the full poison effect

    Great idea! I think they could also add jungle zombies, too, as to add more mobs to the jungle.

    Minecraft dungeons stole it! But also I think that it should be a chance of poison tipped arrows

    what if they added a new type of ancient temple! like it could be made of sandstone, but with a new type---mossy sandstone! and a jungle golem, a golem that uses its arms like bungees to whack enemies farther away. OOOOOOHH! what about.. Skeleton fish! or pirhanas. gorillas, anacondas, mantis-- the possibilities are endless! keep thinking on for the jungle, Shawn! :)
