They remind me of the dark ones from Metro 2033, mixed in with a little of the Librarians from the same game. I am betting that if you attack one with an arrow it is going to charge at you as well. It looks to me like they might attack in groups like the other mobs, that is going to be terrifying.
I think Notch is a Doctor Who Fan, if you watch the show Blink in season 3 its the same thing. There were weeping angels and if you stared at them they wouldn't move, they would be turned to stone but the second you looked away they came at you really fast and got you. Once they had you they would teleport you away back in time and eat up the energy of all the days of life you would have lived out in that time, very complex but wonderful episode. I can't wait for 1.8 all this is sounding rather fun though the bugs on first day launch won't be lol.
