Wild Yak – A High-Altitude Mob with Unique Territory & Herd Mechanics

Mountain biomes need a "heavy" land mob. The Wild Yak fills this. Core Mechanics: · 2-block radius. Stay 5s → 3s warning (paw, snort, head down, tail up) → charge. · Hit 1: knockback 15 blocks (≈66% dmg). 1s pause → hit 2: launch upward (fatal if not healed). · Calves: 3-block radius, 2s → all adults within 15 blocks charge instantly. · Harming a calf = "herd enemy" for 3 in-game days (≈60 min). Re-enter biome = hunted. · Trigger adult = 1v1. Attack any yak/calf = whole herd. Outcast Bull (≈5% spawn): · Darker, broken horn, red eyes. 10-block trigger. 3s warning. Single charge. Infinite pursuit. · Drops: 7 Beef + 6 Leather + 25% Yak Skull + 75 XP Wolf Hunt (10% chance): Packs (≥3) may hunt yaks. Player can intervene. Taming: 3 Wheat. Don't follow. Can be leashed, ridden (ignores powder snow), 9-slot chest. Tamed drops: 5 Beef + 5 Leather (no XP). Quirk: Stand behind tamed yak >3s → 20% playful nudge (1.5 block kb, 0.5 heart). Skewer: Beef/Mutton + Stick → campfire 10s. Restores 6 hunger + 7.2 saturation + 30s "Satisfied" (+10% speed). Stack: 16. Fits MC: Predictable, player choice, biome depth, no item bloat. Thanks!
