Why I’m doing this?
Ever since I started lurking on these forums about a month ago, I was interested in pretty much one thing and one thing only, the suggestion forums. I have so many ideas about every game I play, especially Minecraft, that I was extremely excited by the fact that I might be able to get my ideas heard and added to this game. When I finally made an account about a week ago though, I was disappointed. While there were many great suggestions, as well as many stupid ones, after searching around the forums for a bit I realized that very few of the ideas had been implemented, and the few that did had little to do with the happenings on the forums.
This drove me to try and overcome this challenge, because while Notch stated that he rarely reads the forums, I still believe that these forums are the place where most Minecrafters post their ideas and discuss them. And while these forums may not where Notch reads, I still believe that they are the best place to garner support before submitting ideas to Notch. Because of this, I have created this thread to try and get a simple suggestion implemented into Minecraft, a new mob.
I am doing this because I feel that this is our best chance to give everyone in this community a chance to have their voice heard. I want this project to be community driven and I want this idea to be something that we all have come up with together.
What my plan is?
I plan on bringing this submission part of the project to a close soon.
First, we will collect data with the new poll in the discussion thread. This will allow people to understand what mob ideas the community really wants.
Second, we will put out a final call for submissions, keeping in mind what the most popular category is, and try to get a final few more high caliber suggestions.
Third, we will begin nominating and discussing mob ideas, and eventually, through a series of polls, narrow the suggestions down to the top 5 ideas. (More information on how this will work as we reach this stage).
Finally, we will finalize our 5 favorite ideas, and advertise to Notch.
Hopefully, if we all work together, we can get at least one of the communities top ideas implemented into Minecraft!
How to submit an idea?
Please follow the format. Originally, I was flexible with this, but as so many people are not following the submission format and often times there ideas are not fleshed out or not explained well, I would like to ask everyone to FOLLOW THE FORMAT. It's there for a reason.
Mob Idea Format:
Suggested Mob Name
One Sentence Summary (for discussion thread)
Physical Description or Picture
Under what conditions does it spawn?
(darkness or light, specific biome or general, nether or overworld)
Behavior
Rarity
Drops
Why should it be implemented in Minecraft?
Let the brainstorming begin!!!

I'm not really expecting Notch to read this. After we have finally decided what mob we would like implemented, and it has a LOT of support, we will contact Notch and tell him about our idea and how much support it has. Then hopefully he will read it. But right now we need to focus on brainstorming ideas. I have several ideas myself, but I'm going to post them after other people have had a chance to say their ideas.

Puhs (like cats, read my suggestion about this)
Grazers (like giraffes, eats leaves)
Marbles (round mobs the roll around)
A hawk-like mob
Ant-like mob, lives in hills resembling anthills.
heres my mob.
slimen. they spawn in a light level of 0, and wander around,like z. pigmen. they spawn in groups of 4-5,and whenever they hit a mob that isnt you, they turn it into a slime of any size. they can also throw slimeballs, not very good aims though.
STATS.
easy: 3 hearts,2 damage per a punch,and 1/2 damage for a slimeball.
normal: 5 hearts,4 damage per a punch,1 1/2 damage for a slimeball
hard: 10 hearts, 5 damage fro punch, 3 damage for slimeball.
they spawn on: :obsidian:.
they can be befreinded,by right clicking on them with 32 grilled pork. once befreinded,it will not despawn,and it will help you kill other mobs,sometimes folloing you.
I like the idea, phase 2 should be a thread with the mobs, and specifications worked out. They should be sepearted by biome (nether, desert, water, anywhere).
There also needs to be a tutorial on how to make a mob suggestion. (How to make a picture, a template for info about it) Heres my idea for a mob submission template:

Thanks, you have some good ideas!
I think once we have lots of mob suggestions I will set up some polls, and the top three mobs will get a thread, in which we discuss them. However, I don't want to plan the specifics out too much.
As for your mob submission idea, I think it's great, but I am really focusing on getting the concept of a mob to Notch, not the art and health and everything, and not all mobs will be biome specific. But I think that a standard for submissions should be set. How about this?
Mob Name (can be changed)
Physical Description of Picture
Behavior
Rarity
What it would add to Minecraft?

You really need to emphazize on the drops and what you get out of them though. I really don't want Notch to add mobs which don't add anthing to the gameplay besides fighting, as it seems like a wasted opprotunity to include new things.
As for the biomes, I think that it should at least be realm, so that way nether, land, and ocean mobs can be distinguished easier.
Anyone know a good program for creating your own mob picture?
I think that the poll part would be awesome, that way people can vote for their favorites. I think that a mob needs a minimuim of 10 votes to be considered, and that it must have over 66% approval. (So two thirds of the votes about the mob must be positive)
This way the mob suggestions will be kept from being cluttered with garbage...
Thanks for all your ideas!
I'm gonna be gone for a bit, but when I get back I will edit the OP and post some of my own suggestions. At this point, I would like to bring the focus of this thread back to brainstorming mobs!
Have fun!

What about a minecraft devil? He could live in a hidden castle in the nether. Many ghasts should surround the castle, so it would be hard to get to the devil. If the devil saw you, he would come up and attack. The devil should be extremely hard to defeat, and should be very strong. If defeated, the devil would turn into 3 golden apples, 5 TNT , 2 buckets of lava , 4 gold ingots , and a portal out of the nether. Maybe a new item could be created for the defeat of the Minecraft Devil.

<-- Help my dragon? If I say anything stupid, assume I'm tired.
This mob would be like a regular skeleton, except they would be rare, and you could only find them at the end of caves, where there are dead ends. They would usually just sit there, unless you attacked it, got to close to it, or mined blocks near it.
When you awake it, it would get up and fight you with a sword. It's power would be comparable to that of a Zombie Pigman. It would drop valuable items, and probably some bones.

Thats stupid.... Minecraft is randomly generated so it would be stupid to put a castle into the nether.
There COULD be random "dungeons" with minotaurs or another hellish creature inside that is tough to kill. The chests inside would have new items, records, ect. The Mob Spawner would spawn zombie pigmen when placed by the player.

Cool idea, I defintely suppourt there being a melee combat based skeleton, although I don't really like the whole awakening thing. Skeletons with swords would be called Skeleton Warriors, and skeletons with bows would be called Skeleton Archers.
There should be new water mobs... lake sharks and whales.
I also think that there should be some other form of mob that can modify the terrain, such as a kind of burrowing worm type thing. Different forms of existing mobs are always good, but they should be immune to different forms of attacks, such as water can't drown (that would suck to find them underwater)
I would also like mobs that can only be killed be certain types of material or that would be repelled by block type.. I would love to keep creepers away by laying down a boundary of a certain object, but maybe it would have to be one barrier that reconnects not just a single block. Maybe the mob would have a higher chance of spawning by the barrier but couldn't cross it.

Please don't be so harsh in criticizing. I would say that it would be cool to have some form of pre-created building in the game. Like the idea of villages. But I think that there would still have to be a random part of it, such as room placement. Plus I would like some type of large enemy only found rarely in the nether.

I call him, the Gazer.
He is basically a giant eye with 4 legs and a mouth near the bottom of his body.
He will drop 3 drops, each randomly selected.
1. Lenses
2.Cornea
3. Raw Leg
I will add more about this when i draw up some pics.
