A new image of the new creature - commonly referred to as "Endermen" - was released recently (enhanced here, for light levels). This image is much more up-close-and-personal than the first, giving us a good look at the new creatures. It would seem that wearing a pumpkin prevents the new mob from seeing you, although this is unconfirmed at present.
Additionally, Notch mentioned a possible name-change for the newly minted mob, "Farlander" being suggested and, apparently, already in heavy use.
Enderman follows the spoof, while farlanders makes them sound stupid since they come close to you anyway.
What needs to be added:
1. The new pic
2. Pumpkins can protect you from endermen
It also looks as though arrows are actually sticking into the mob, maybe arrows will stay on the player too. ...*Wonders if there's a way to remove them*....

Enderlanders? :ohmy.gif:
ps. the zombie looks like its been shot, haha :laugh.gif:
Also, if you enlarge the image by clicking on it, you can also see that the skeleton is looking straight at the Enderman/Farlander and there is an arrow already flying towards his back.
