Notch revealed a screenshot of one of the new monsters for 1.8!
[readmore]
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!
DONT STEAL MY HOUSE
I'm thinking that the mobs probably did it. One is holding a sand block so it could have been digging. Or maybe they can even place certain blocks
o_O
Apparently it can hold objects, I'm wondering if it's going to have something to do with the new NPC's. AI testing, maybe?
It doesn't seem to fit with the other mobs, IMO. Notch has been doing good so far, so I think he'll find a good way to use this new mob.
