Underwater cave hostile mob

Minecraft live just shared that the glow squid and axolotl will be added to the game and will spawn in underwater caves!!! this is great but they should add one hostile mob that spawns in underwater caves to add some danger to the cave waters. Both of the mobs we know of are peaceful/neutral so adding a hostile one will even it out a bit. My picks would be an alligator gar, giant crab, or the extinct dunkleosteus its a large fish with bone plating on its head and mouth!!! or if they want to make it a monster it could be a mermaid, hydra, or serpent.

    Your idea is really great.
    Indeed, underwater caves need terrifying mobs.
    The cave should be a pretty scary place.

    Voted. There should be a hostile water creature deep in the lower Y-levels of the caves. It seems really easy to avoid danger in these caves, you just need to jump into water, which seems really devoid of life, at least in the latest snapshot. I hope that Glow Squid is actually unique to the waters in caves, that'd be pretty.

    I agree! I do kind of like the safety of having no hostile mobs in some of the caves, but having none at all does get rid of some of the challenge! I was thinking either editing the code so Drowns can spawn down there or specifically adding a mob like an Electric Eel or something :) that would be fun!
