Seen here is a screenshot of a new monster in the works for 1.8. While Notch didn't specify exactly what it was, it seems fairly apparent that this new arrival in Minecraft isn't especially friendly-looking. What is it? What can it do? We will keep you updated as this information becomes available!
Update - Thanks to Nyanners and KSMF, respectively, for the following two enhanced images!
"Duh that tree looks weird Duh!"
"Oh the one is the background is holding grass!"
"OMG WEIRD TREE"
"Hmmmm they must be ninja squid thief skeles!"
"Maybe they trow stuff at you!"
"OH NO SINGLE PLAYER GRIEFERS!"
"OMG they will break our houses!"
