Skolopendra Underwater Boss

The Skolopendra would be a squid-like boss (almost like the Kraken) and would only spawn in Under Water Volcanic Zones. Appearance: The height of the boss is 13 blocks high and 6 blocks wide. The Skolopendra has 9 tentacles in total with 5 being normal for it’s size and 4 being larger with spikes. In the middle of it’s head is one big red eye. **Encountering:** When the player first reaches where the Skolopendra is located, they will see pillars of magma blocks surrounding it. The mob is in it’s “sleep” state at this time. When the player comes 10 blocks in range it will awaken and screech at the player. **The Battle:** After it screeches at the player, that is when the battle begins. The player will first try to cut off or “destroy” its 5 normal tentacles. Next, they will have to cut the 4 large tentacles. Remember that these have spikes. The large tentacles would grab the player and deal damage at the same time. When the player gets down to the last tentacle, that tentacle would try to force the player into the jaw of the Skolopendra, which does big damage. If the player cuts it off in time then they’re saved. After the last tentacle is cut, it inks you which gives you blindness, but it doesn’t have anymore defenses so that’s when the player would attack full on. When it’s finally dead, it would let out one last screech. More info in comments.

  **Stats:**

  * It has 140 health points in total. 80 points are from the tentacles and the other 60 is from the squid's body at the end.

  1. Large tentacles have 10 health points and normal tentacles have 8.

  * Normal tentacles deal 4 1/2 damage to the player.
  * Large tentacles hold you for 3 seconds (except for the last one which brings the player to its jaw) and deal 4 damage a second.
  * The jaw attacks one time and deals 12 damage.

  **Drops:**

  When the player finally kills the Skolopendra, it drops the Skolopendra eye. This eye would be combined with the Heart of the Sea and seven diamonds to create the Sea Gem. The Sea Gem is essentially a portable conduit that is held in the player's offhand and grants dolphin's grace as well. You may be thinking it would take away the point of conduits, but considering that the volcanic zones would be made as rare as the mushroom biome it would be pretty hard to actually come across and defeat the boss.

  I think it should drop three hearts of the sea (some cephalopods do have three hearts) and should also drop MASSIVE amounts of ink sacs, some kind of meat, and exp. Each tentacle should drop multiple calamari. Nothing should spawn in its biome, and it should also be aggressive toward everything but squids. Considering the unique nature and difficulty of its battle, (as well as the value of the other drops) it should also drop the sea-totem, a new item that (when powered by holding a heart of the sea or an enchanted trident in your main hand) gives you constant dolphin's grace and water breathing, and invisibility when you hold shift, and, if you have already built a conduit, it would give you conduit power wherever you are rather than water breathing.

  The boss should also be capable of breaking blocks (and boats) with its tentacles, turning invisible, and its ink should be poisonous. 

  It should only spawn (very rarely) near a conduit powered mostly by dark prismarine.
