I've had an idea for minecraft for a while now, but have never really bothered to post this on the forums, and this would be my first post. I'm sure many of you have thought of this already, but I have not yet seen this on the minecraft forums. I myself am not quite challenged enough by minecraft even on hard mode. This brought me to believe that minecraft should include elite enemies for those players that spend their nights hunting down mobs.
These elite mobs would be bigger, better, and even more annoying than normal mobs because let's face it, minecraft has never had a REAL combat challenge in it. However, for the softies that enjoy building in minecraft but don't want to be called a ***** when they put on peaceful mode, elite mobs shall only spawn in hard mode, and even then they should be fairly rare. Not as rare as diamond, or slimes, or even lapis lazuli. About as rare as finding iron on the surface of your world without you even looking.
I myself have been playing in the nether quite a lot lately, and this is the only near challenge for me in minecraft. This is only because when you attack one mob, they all attack you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These mobs will be things like Gorillas, lions, elephants(?) and possibly hell-like monsters that spawn in ruins or something that may come in future updates. The difference with these mobs is they spawn fairly rarely, but they spawn in the day time. Not only that, but they will ONLY attack you if you attack them first. These mobs will be bigger and stronger than others, so players will need tactics and food to defeat them. 5x5 flat area to spawn in. They deal 4-6 hearts in damage per hit (to a player with no armour) and have 6x skeleton health. This way they are hard to kill, but you only attack them if you want to. I am currently open to ideas on what they drop, but also if new items are introduced before the full release of minecraft this would be good for elite mobs.
Problems with this idea: We all know how annoying it is to come out in the morning and hear a :SSSS:hiss behind us, only to see that not only did we die but our entrance to our home was blown up by a creeper. What will be more annoying is a big, strong mob jumping down from the roof of your home and killing you in 2 hits. Troubleshoot: This will be on hardmode for all the hardcore players, so they should be looking out for this anyway.
I encourage everyone to think deeply about this idea, and think about what you say before trying to troll.

EDIT: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=236690 this thread has very good ideas, I am simply reinforcing this.
it has like 30 hearts and drops diamonds, half steps XD and other stuff...
but maybe we can also get like dragons which are 10 blocks long or serpents or maybe rock golems which forms if you go near ruins or portals...
