Blighted (Blaze, Nether Update)

The Blaze is lacking variants and attention for the Nether Update. It would be nice to see it have new variants that would spawn in the new biomes. I have come up with one option for the Nether Update.

The Blighted

The Blighted or Blight is a Blaze variant that spawns the Crimson Forest. It is red and have a Crimson Fungi on its head. It does more more damage than a blaze and when one of its fireballs touches a block, 4-6 blocks are ignited. When killed it will drop either Blaze Powder or Blaze Rods and will always drop a Crimson Fungi. It will also rarely spawn and it will always spawn by itself, since it is stronger than its other counterpart.

Name Meaning

Blight is a plant disease that is caused by fungi. However, Crimson Fungi could be strong enough to infect creatures, a Blaze, instead of plants.

Crimson Fungi and Blazes

Whenever a Blaze goes into a Crimson Forest or is spawned in it, it will turn into a Blighted. If this is too controversial or not wanted by the developers, an alternate option is to have Blazes turn into Blighted when they are near Crimson Fungi.

Possible New Item Drop: The Crimson Rod is a new item that is dropped by the Blighted. It can be used to turn Cows into Mooshrooms and can burn enemies that are hit by it.

  It should have an exclusive drop, like new weapons

  @wyattisme10 We don't need more weapons in this update. Netherite is more than enough, don't you think? That's kind of the starring feature of the major upcoming update, adding another obscure weapon would take away from that...

  @Lili5510 While I do believe we don't really need new weapons it would still be neat to have the Blighted drop an exclusive item. That's why I thought of the Crimson Rod; an item that turns Cows into Mooshrooms and burns objects or enemies. It's not very useful, but it's still a cool and neat item to get. However, I said possible, because it's up to the developers if they want to add the Crimson Rod as a new item.

  @FrixForgotten I think it's time they add an actually useful mob drop. It would be cool if the crimson rod is a replacement for the stick for even better swords and/or tools(like maybe for new ingots and such). I'm kind of tired of getting purposeless items. Yes, netherite is cool and all but if people can beat the enderdragon and wither with diamond armor, I'm pretty sure they don't need another type. I wish they would just add some new bosses and at least one new dimension. The current bosses are too easy for diamond armor, let alone NETHERITE. So thats why its kinda not that exciting considering it doesnt help that much, so adding a bit more other than a new ingot would be cool.

  this is a good idea because it could probably have a point at making the crimson forest a bit more challenging. I mean like what? no ghasts???????? what happened to them weren't they supposed to be the main mob that is dangerous????

  and what I think is that what if in a fortress in the crimson forest, there is a blaze that drops from the spawner and then lands on to a crimson fungus and then turns in to a ''blighted'' I mean like a zombie > to a drowned?
