The "The Hovering Inferno" is to be a future mob in the nether, which looks really cool. I still think the nether should be even harder though, so I suggest they add the The Hovering Inferno along with another mob: The Lava Golem, or Molten Beast. This would be a mini-boss mob, able to inflict heavy damage. It can fling lava balls at the player, and up close not only attack with it's arms but maybe even go under the lava and come up spewing lava in all directions. It can be made entirely from lava or it could have some sort of lava armor. It would be a relatively big and slow mob. It does no/reduced damage to Striders. When engaging, it's torso can spin in 4 directions, each changing what "mode" it is in. In the first "mode", it is passive but upon angering the Lava Golem it's chest spins to one of 3 other modes. One meaning it is in more of a melee phase, coming at the player trying to melee them and rarely throwing lava balls. Another mode being if he is hit by too many arrows, he moves slower but the arrows ricochet off or go through him coming out flaming arrows on the other side. He throws 3x lava balls + more consistently in this mode. The last mode being when he dies, he starts to heat up and explodes, spewing lava in all directions and dealing moderate damage to all who are too close.
Loot wise he drops a lava crystal (his heart) and molten armor fragments? or something like that. The armor could be low in defense but allow the player to swim in lava like water.
