Windcaller illager

The iceologer would of fitted perfectly into the mountains, but lost. The windcaller is another mob from dungeons which would replace it perfectly if not more. Will fill in the "Cliffs" part of the update more. Will also participate in raids. Has 24 hp (12 hearts).

The windcaller has an unusual appearance, and is the only illager with hair! (very tall hair). He will hover low to the ground, only flying high when needed (approaching player/villager, flying over/above obstacle, etc). They will flee when approached and not summoning wind (similarly to evokers, but are not as fast, but can fly). They drop a hefty 5 emeralds due to living at mountains (since emeralds spawn there). Maybe a unique drop (their staff?), but would have to be balanced. Can also spawn as captains.

It has 3 attacks 

1: Will send a gust of wind at target, dealing only 3 damage (1.5 hearts), but dealing severe knockback. Can be fatal if near long drop (It's AI is smart, will use this attack more when near drop of at least 6 blocks).

2: Will propel you up into the air (6-10 blocks) and you will come tumbling down directly after (so it is different to levitation). Won't take too much fall damage, will mainly unsettle the player and catch them off guard. If skilled at the mlg bucket trick, not a problem!

    3: A rare and dangerous attack. Summons a mini tornado which sucks you up into it if at least 3 blocks away, which you will be unless you back off as it summons. When up there, will spin you around 3-4 times, will be quick and uncontrollable. Every spin takes 0.4 seconds, and deals 2 damage (1 heart). Any other by passers who happen to be in the radius of the static tornado will also be sucked in (but not any other illagers/raiders).

    Btw, players with netherite armour and mobs with knockback resistance will not be nearly as vulnerable to these winds.

    Also, maybe mountaineers could be added alongside? Or replace pillager patrols and outposts in cold biomes? And could spawn in cold village raids?

    And if mountaineers were to be added, here's their factfile

    hp: 24

    attack strength: 7 normal mode(3.5 hearts)

    drops: 0-1 snowballs, 0-2 emeralds and rarely their pickaxe/axe. 

    behaviour: similar to vindicators in attack style. less damage, aren't slowed down by snow. Can also spawn as captains. Big difference is that they can, as well as breaking down wooden doors, like vindicators, in hard, can break iron (because of their pickaxe).

    I think one of the attacks could be a sneak attack like sins he is a illeger he has power so he could also tern into a block with a new potion (that turns players/entity’s into the Nernst block) and when you are at least three blocks apart he will pop out and use a new attack that he makes clones of him self and rapidly attacks you, if you kill him within five seconds you get a special drop that lets you make the potion. 

    P.S your grammars better then mine.

    I think they should spawn in some sort of structure because it'd be annoying to be knocked off the mountains constantly.

    Well, if there is a structure, there should be loot
