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!
did you force update to find that out?

The video has a description of what they can do and at the end of the video you'll see what endermen might be like.
in my idea its the very personified defintion of a dilemma, a hard decision you must make, as soon as you look straight at it it will stop and you must make a decision, and if you do not plan your escape or attack you will be destroyed. i hope notch makes it so a nonagressive version of them spawns on peaceful, as the idea of them moving blocks is quite cool, i can easily say these mobs will quickly make the creeper look like a joke, i do hope they have abnormally loud footsteps so you can tell when one is nearby.
