imagine ,you've just built a house in the desert and then at night time your settling down to rest and then these dark creatures say " get it! and run off with your sand walls lol
They might be some of the new NPCs he talked about, though probably not unless NPCs will be a type of "mobs." If so, I'm guessing they're probably neutral/aggressive, though I doubt there would be aggressive NPCs.
Maybe they pick up and place down blocks to build their own villages up from nothing. In the pic, all the endermen have is sand and dirt. Maybe they could plan on building a village out of sandstone as the player does his own thing?
looks like the one holding grass is not limited to desert biomes since it is indeed on the grass...
also, i thought grass blocks were impossible to obtain without inventory hacking?
they are also the scariest thing in minecraft i have seen yet.
okay guys, notch confirmed on his blog that giant mushrooms npc villages above ground naturally generated dungeons, and mother of god help us if this is a creeper evolution. no that is not a new tree.
i can tell its NOT going to be passive... maybe neutral.

"That's it, I'm officially naming them "Endermen" as a (subtle) reference to this."
Mobs can now place/destroy blocks? I now have all the more reason to line my house with obsidian.
