Hostile mob in the swamp: The Snapjaw

This mob consists mostly of a head and it has a small, blocky main body with thin, long legs that stick to the bottom of the swamp waters. It'll stay a few blocks off the land with its snout sticking out just above the water, looking kind of like a lily pad. If you touch it, the jaw will snap and hurt you. If you drive a boat into it, the boat will take damage. It would take a few hits for a Snapjaw to destroy the boat. When moving, the Snapjaw bends its legs so it's completely submerged before changing location. The Snapjaw drops a tooth when killed. If combined with a piston, you can craft a spiky piston that damages mobs when activated.

    overall a really good idea the spiked piston could work well with a mob farm

    Amazing idea. It should be able to camouflage in the swamps and even spawn in mangrove forests. Would be cool if it could also eat frogs over them.
