Nekos (The Iillagers of the nether) and their camps

While the nether usually seems scary at first, entering into It late game tends to be easy. Piglins also seem to be at the top of the nether's control, they're a civilization who have taken the remainder of the ancients... But what If the thing that hunted the ancients also hunted down villagers and piglins.

 

I present to you: Nekos, the adorable, quick, cat-like scourges of Minecraft. 

The way they can be Introduced Is as raiders of both their former home world and our’s hunting villagers an piglin's alike. They have 25 HP and will resist enchantments like fire aspect and sharpness. There are two forms: Sword wielding bakenekos and bow firing, two tailed nekomatas, who will back up from enemies to use potions..

 

They can drop gold, Iron nuggets (likely from dead golems), and occasionally their weapons.

 

In addition, you'll find "cat-tail camps", which house these mean kitties. As well as a cage for piglins and hoglins, even villagers could be trapped In one. 

(update: perhaps they could also have their own form of bad omen or “Fluffy’s wrath” effect for a “scourge” event, To act as a nether raid In the bastion. And maybe even a arch-Illager counterpart known as the  nekomancer, who could appear as a boss In these feline atrocities. In addition, perhaps you could also get the scourge In the village as well, which would pretty much now have rifts opening for the neko mobs to come In.)

  Not sure where you're getting that statistic(?) tre3meow, but ok.
  
  This is an idea, although it might be a better idea to not just name them the japanese word for "cat"?
  
  This is Minecraft, after all; not an anime MMORPG outright.
  How about calling them "Felidians"? They could use bows and stone swords. Perhaps they could have a skeletal form (similar to Zombie Piglins) that only utilize a new, special kind of bow: the Blackstone Bow, which could have very quick but weak shots.
  
  And to build on the "cat-tail camps", what if they had their own sort of villages that centered around structures resembling that of Jungle Temples? Maybe these creatures are evolved Ocelots? Mystery is a key factor here.

  @tazwonderosity, you have quite the Interesting take for my Idea, as nekos are kinda generic despite not being true to their Japanese mythos. I’d say we’d mix the designs between our Ideas. But tre3cat, that was a rather weird flex considering I was basing them off of 10% anime and 90% Japanese mythos, We could make many paths to contrast these Minecraft bakenekos and nekomatas with their anime counterparts and grow closer to their Japanese mythos. I thought the anime design would give them a cute look despite not being the wholesome cats they should be. Overall, nice Idea

  As they aren't illagers (assuming they do not resemble villagers) they should not be hostile to villagers, or if they are, they should also be hostile to illagers.

  So here Is a list of variables the neko mobs could have...

   

  First off, they despise piglins, and thus will attempt to use their arsenal to strike them down. However, They are obsessed with two things - quartz and lanterns. Giving a bakeneko who's without their fellow felines will actually tame them. If a neko sees a lantern (be It a nekomata, bakeneko, nekomancer, or the felidians, who could be the 4th and most unique variation, as they are more like ocelots then normal cats..) they will steal It, emitting a satisfied "meow" upon doing so.

   

  Each neko type has a set of weapons to choose from. Bakenekos prefer swords or sometimes bows, while nekomatas carry crossbows and sometimes ballistas, a stronger yet slower varient of the crossbow. Felidians could obviously be reliant on blackstone bows and spears, a new type of poking weapon that also exists as a progression weapon, much like the axe and sword, albeit It Isn't as powerful as the trident.

   

  They have 3 structures: Blackstone towers and cat-tail camps. Felidians prefer to remain in the towers while their more refined relatives remain In the camps. Sometimes you'll see a large tower surrounded by camps, this Is a besalt pagoda, and Is home to the nekomancer, a new nether mini-boss or even a nether boss.
