Thorny devil ( to make the desert more fun and to save them )

The desert is a large biome but theirs rarely anything to see except a occasional village or temple. Well how about we add the thorny devil this lizard is incredibly spiked and carries water on its back which can go to its mouth so it can drink it. The devil is endangered and people are trying their best to save them. If Minecraft were to this it would for sure raise awareness. In the game they would be seen walking around eating ants ( Minecraft would have to add that ) if a player gets close enough to touch it they start being damaged ( like the sweet berry bush ) after they eat they should hang out on top of a hill or something and look like their absorbing the suns rays This would for sure make the desert way more interesting and fun to explore for other than just a temple.

    I had this idea too!

    I think thorny devils should spawn on the surface in the red-desert/mesa/badlands biomes. They should be semi-passive like spiders: In the day they should hunt/sunbathe, but after sunset they should become sleepy and passive (because reptiles are cold blooded). They could be like the dry counterpart to axolotls (another small, cute, endangered reptile). I do not think thorny devils should be tameable by the player, but they could be breaded by the player using spiders eye? Naturally, thorny devils would have the thorns effect innately, so anything that hits them would take damage from the thorns.

    Thanks for reading! I hope this little guy gets added, maybe at the same time as the "vulture" mob.
