[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!
perhaps the npcs that build houses?
Note: They run fast apparently.
Spawn conditions: Only spawns WITHIN 25 blocks of you, unlike any other mob.
That'd make em creepier
so if your shelter is not in the sky your going to be in danger!
these things are terrifying!
They are mushrooms I think.
