Barnacle

I think they should add the Barnacle (Mob A from the 2017 vote), because thematically it really fits the upcoming game drop and the ocean desperately needs a new threat! Like, Mounts of Mayhem brings us the Nautilus, a mount, but where is the Mayhem?

 

A few other small additions could be:

- He destroys boats or slows them down.

- He pulls the player down from the Nautilus.

- He can scare the (untamed) Nautilus into hiding in its shell.

 

A few suggestions from the comments that I agree with:

- Ocean must be deeper! The Barnacle would only spawn in dark and deep areas of the ocean.

- Defeating it would be on the level of a Blaze, but it would spawn rather rarely.

- Maybe a structure it is protecting 

 

Other name ideas if Barnacle doesn’t sound too threatening:

- Mayhem

- Abyss

-Kraken

- Sinker

    Trypophobia might not be the best idea to put in the game

    I really want to see this guy added, though as an actual squid, not a barnacle

    I think the only way the barnacle could ever work is in a huge ocean update where they finally changed the depth. Because you know it's titled monster of the ocean depths. Like depth of what the 28 blocks?

    I feel that it should be summoned or at least the player has to trigger it or enter were it is.
    A surprise boss fight just would not fit in the game

    it should have interaction with guardians or drowned, as other hostile aquatic mobs, and occasionally eating fish if no other victim (player, villager, whatever mob) is around

    would not make them destroy boats, since that would be nightmare when using boats with chests, but dismounting players or other mobs form boats sounds reasonably fine
    making nautiluses fear it would be great too, making boats still viable as nautiluses could "freeze" and refuse to move

    as what level of threat it should be, that is question, someone says "boss", I dont think it should be even "miniboss" (as elder guardian), it should be about as blaze level threat at most or tied to some structure/spawner, maybe if some day we get water-focused trial chamber variant where it would have sort of role of breeze (unique chamber mob)

    You know, a Mounted drowned is one new threat, but a deadly barnacle to populate the seas? Sign me up.

    It should be the Ocean's equivalent to the Warden. They could make Oceans much deeper to accomplish this, and maybe even give it a "skulky" texture.

    Funny how every update someone suggests they bring back one of the mob vote losers, and it gets a ton of votes.

    I like the idea so long as the barnacle is deep underwater.

    after copper golem rework and implementation, there is higher chance than ever we get mob vote losers
    I would like to see them, even OG ones, despite I am one of few people who dont mind phantom too much and I also think however OG mob vote would end, players would hate them equally if not more than phantoms based on what was told about them

    Maybe make it neutral? Minecraft doesn't want any real-life mobs that are always hostile. So either making it neutral or it have a new name would be better, in my opinion

    An additional thought, what if you can use Axolotls to deter the Barnacle/ The Monster of the Ocean Depths from the attacking the player that why you have another reason to bring Axolotls with you when you travel oceans

    If anyone here in the comments has further ideas, maybe a new use or feature for the Barnacle, feel free to write! Every mob should bring something with it, but unfortunately the Barnacle doesn't have that in this proposal yet.

    Give the barnacle a structure with good loot like guardians! This makes it easier for people to both seek out and avoid as they so desire.

    barnacle should just attach to boats and nautiluses, which slows them down, after some time, more barnacles will spawn on the boat or nautilus, making it even slower, players should kill/remove them with shears, but they will also attack. Oh, and when the whole boat or nautilus is covered, the boat will sink or the nautilus will die, and they will de-attach and find a new place

    I think that the barnacle would be a cool addition to this game. I think it would be really awesome if it was in a super deep ocean biome full of bioluminescent creatures. I think some other things that might be in this ocean abyss biome could be hydrothermal vents, crabs, glowing plants, and maybe ancient ruins. I think it should be one of the more dangerous biomes in the game, so I would add many different hostile mobs in addition to this one (some ideas might include anglerfish, eels, and sharks). I recommend making the oceanic abyss biome go extremely deep, like maybe almost to the bedrock layer.

    Also, I like the name Kraken the best.

    You have my vote. :)

    I think this should totally be in some kind of super deep super dark ocean zone with a ton of hostile mobs.

    I like the idea of a barnacle, but as a small mob, maybe the size of a baby bee, that attaches to the sunken ships,... they can spawn in groups on the ship walls or as singles, and when you remove it from the ship wall, the shell of it breaks open and you and use it to tame either a crab or starfish (1 new mob idea, along with a previous mob from the mob votes)
