Quick Story
I am proposing a mob that will attack you (with acid) and destroys your armor like a normal attack but dosn't affect your health until your armor is gone. Same spawn rate as other hostile mobs. Same range as skelly. Same stength as zombie. Agressive behavior. Drops mushroom(s). Fleshed Out Idea
Here's the premise. A mob, perhaps an insect of some sort, that attacks you from a distance and corrodes your armor. It WILL damage your health but only after you run out of armor for the acid to eat away at.
I imagine this will add either a level of depth or a level of franticness to minecraft. The level of depth may come from picking out priority targets. And the franticness would come from your armor coroding as the zombies cave in. If the propsed mob (hereafter referred to as 'Armor Killer') as well as a spider and a zombie were coming after you, which would you shoot first?
Please provide feedback as this is my first mob suggestion. Also, I searched through google and couldn't find anything.
Maybe only for the Nether, just because it doesnt have much atm.

I would make three walls to protect my back and sides, get a roof over my head, laugh as the spider tries in vain to attack me, kill the zombie, kill the spider, then the armor eater.

I couldn't think of anything fitting.

I see what you mean. Might be odd to have ghasts as well as armor killers attacking you though wouldn't it.
