"Sucker" - Cave Mob inspired by Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Soul Sucker Pitch:

I think current mobs are at disadvantage underground due to tight spaces and player-made blockades.  If we'd like the underground to be more thrilling and challenging -- I'd suggest a new mob called "Soul Sucker" which can can seep through walls, target idling players, silently drain health, and scare players by sending them to the void!   Now, I don't know what this mob would look like, but one way players could avoid it is by having a parrot with them (slight nod to canaries & coal mines).  May be an out-there idea, but I think protecting a parrot would liven up mining later in the game. 

Anyway, just wanted to share this idea.  If you have any feedback feel welcome to comment! 

Soul Sucker Overview:

  • Afraid of Parrots.
  • Targets idling players. 
  • Can seep through walls.
  • Ignores armor protection.
  • Can silently drain player's health. 
  • Player falls to void after health is drained.
  • Can appear behind or same space as player.
  • Items drop on ground before player descends.

    I like the idea, but sending to the void is a bit... nah. But I think that is an overall great idea! I like the sound of it, it sounds like it will make  players more scared to enter caves and they need to be more prepared. Also, how would you get these off of you? I feel like the look could be like a tapeworm almost. I don’t know, you can decide.

    I think that this is a great idea but instead of it being able to kill you you could instead have it so it only gets you down to half a heart like hunger and it could stop targeting you when you start to move again.
