Sculk Dragon

The Sculk Dragon would be a mob that serves as a cave mount. It spawns in only the deepest of Deep Dark biomes in place of the Warden, and disguises as a patch of sculk. It is tamable and saddlable. Taming it will not be easy, however, as it can climb on walls and pounce on you. It is worth the effort, as when ridden you gain control of these abilities, as well as the ability to swim through the large open caves of water, and to sneak past mobs such as the warden with its light and silent feet, giving off no vibrations. The Sculk Dragon's eyes have been taken over by the sculk and are sealed closed. To make up for this it has greatly enhanced hearing and smelling, and it has grown sensors on its head and back in order to navigate. These sensors, however, are not entirely reliable, and occasionally tamed Sculk Dragons will require aid in order to correct their senses.

I have made drawings of what I think it should look like as well, but for now this is simply an explanation of the behavior.

    This is awesome! (But it does sound pretty scary) Also, how exactly is it tamed? Could it climb cave walls? As you said it could pounce on you.

    I don't think I can reply to a singular comment. the ferfinatere, yes I imagine it can climb vertically. Also, I didn't really come up with a taming method, I was hoping there would be an item in Deep Dark snapshots that would be able to be used, but other than that maybe you could make a violent vibration to shock them and then mount and tame it.
