Hi , we have all seen the beetle or spider in the new Chiseled cinnabar of Chaos Cubed drop so here are some suggestions .
If it's a beetle , it would be the 5th bug/insect mob after Bees, Silverfish, Endermites, and Spiders. (I was in my garden digging and found a larvae of a beetle, which is weird because i live in a city but found it quite interesting.) It could start as eggs inside dirt ball or larvae inside infested/coarse dirt patches in the cave or the surface . When fully grown, it would fly around and (mostly) walk in forests or inside the cave but always near water , lush caves, swamp edges, forest floors etc and protects its larvae -either staying on top of the block, surrounding it, or even carrying the dirt ball *, which could unravel into larvae or a beetle eventually.
If it’s a spider , it could be inspired by Prinerigone vagans or Tegenaria domestica in a part of the cave that has cobwebs all around .They could be tiny compared to normal spiders or smaller to cave ones , orange,reddish , brown. When moving downwards, they leave spider silk which has a faint reflective sheen, and has a chance of dropping string if broken . Now, mojang can add the creepiness to it , with probably a mild effect , slowness or paralysis .
This might also be inspired by a real-life "spider city" with a giant, interconnected web (large shared web colonies).
I think either version could add a lot of atmosphere and new gameplay to the caves and forests.
I will add more in the comments.
