So inspired by Skyrim's Spriggan and the new skin packs "Tree Man" I thought of a New mob for Minecraft that i think could be extremely exciting, fitting, and beneficial.

I'm thinking the name should be 'Arbor' (Latin for tree), Tree Golem or Arbor Golem

The creature itself is somewhat of an animated tree (like the Spriggan)
It's goal is to protect the forest.

• When a player is chopping down a tree and an Arbor is close enough it will attack the player. ONLY when a player either attacks it or cuts a tree down will it attack
• It drops either oak wood blocks or a special rare mossy wood
• Attacks by running at the player and tackling them creating a knock back effect
• stops attacking when either it's dead or player is out of the forest
• 50 Health
• Attack damages according to difficulty settings: Easy 1.5 hearts, Normal 3 hearts, Hard 4.5 hearts.
• walks at a normal pace when peaceful, but sprints at player speed when attacking
• Spawns maybe 4 per forest biome
• Tree Golems only appear from either spawning or a sapling being hit by lightning
• Tree Golems could be tamed only when creating one in the same fasion as the iron Golem only with Mossy wood rather than Iron Blocks and will defend their summoner
• Fire is the Tree Golems Weakness and does 5 hearts Per. second
• Cannot enter Nether or End

I think this would be a great addition to Minecraft because it would add a ton of excitement to getting wood and would be a good way to get mossy wood into the game, could also be fun just hunting them

Please if you think this is a good Mob Idea support it by Commenting and giving feed back/Ideas. Thank You

I kind of like this idea, would make gathering wood very difficult at first.

That's why there would only be 4 or so per forest Biome. And the distance that they would attack you from would be the normal distance that any other mob would. so if you're close to them then yeah it would be hard but forests are big so you could just cut from further away

I like the idea a bit, actually, but all that should be shifted is the damage--have a different one for each difficulty.

Would they be visible.
Because the ones in skyrim went invisible.

Technically they're not full-blown invisible since you can see some effects emnating from them, but you have a point.

maybe they could hide in the tree like a silverfish does to stone bricks, cobble, and stone, exept very faintly visible in the tree.some would be wandering and some would be inside trees, like spriggans in skyrim. Anyway, its an awesome idea and i hope it gets implemented!

I think if added, they should spawn naturally wherever there are a bunch of trees, regardless of biome.

AND, they could be coded to drop ANY sapling. This is a potential fix for the jungle sapling issue when the new biome is added. This also fixes issues for worlds that don't have a certain type of tree as well.

I don't want those things in my tree farm in my house. ._.

If which were the case, my collection of "complete seeds" would go flying up. But yes, idea approved.

that's a good idea they could be set to regularly drop any type of saplings and their rare drops would be Mossy oak for spawning them
