Striders should look like Water Striders

The Strider is a fun new mob that has bee added to the Nether. However, for a name as cool as it is, the Striders look extremely boring. I mean they're just a big, sad head with legs and tendrils. A good way to change is to make them look insects, more specifically Water Striders. They should have a insectoid torso with four long legs, and two small arms. The face could stay the same but make the eyes bigger and have a bright red color to them. The tendrils could be modified into antenna by placing some at the front and the sides. Also, make them a type of Arthropod. And their name should be changed to Lava Striders. This model redesign would make the Striders far more unique and interesting then they already are.

They should have body that looks like this.

But they should have a head shape and fiery texture like this.

    Both of the insects you see above were used as an example of what elements should be added to make the Striders better mobs.
