Baby Ghasts that rarely spawn in Basalt Deltas

First things first, they should by no means be easy to come across. Ghasts are in a way the face of the Nether, and arguably a good representation of how brutal the place is supposed to be. However, the Nether is not exclusively evil and twisted, as shown by the innocence of Striders and the Piglins apparently having a lot of honor buried underneath their selfish demeanors.

How I imagine this working is that Ghasts in Basalt Deltas have a 1/3 chance of spawning as a baby, but don’t have any kind of parent. They’re just a lonely child, floating around the wasteland in search of purpose. Should you find one, they’ll generally either try to hide, or just do their own thing. They’re still young and innocent, so if you hurt them, they’ll just float away in fear instead of fighting back. However, if you feed them magma cream, they can help you locate any lost inventory.

Similarly, you can tame them by feeding them gunpowder, though unlike most other tamable mobs, they can’t be bred. Instead, additional gunpowder can be used to let them shoot fireballs. These won’t necessarily be shot on command, but they’re much weaker than regular fireballs anyway, only starting a fire and not breaking most blocks. For added personality, they have a chance of scaring away baby piglins, but not regular piglins. Instead, they try their best to not harm the baby ghast when fighting one unless they’re low on health, as a show of respect for the creature.
