So, I love prefix mobs. Unfortunately, we only have one. The Spider Jockey. Agility and speed of a spider, range of a skeleton. Almost impossible to use wolves on and very deadly overall. So of course, we need more prefix mobs. These are my ideas for what they should be.
Zombie Pigman Pack Leader - A hostile mob which is essentially the same thing, but with a few enhancements. First off, ditching the gold sword for a diamond one. Second, unlike the passive ways of the Zombie Pigmen, when this guy spots you, not only does he go hostile on you, but every Pigman within reach of you goes to attack with him. You'll have one hell of a fight on your hands. Heh. Hell of a fight. In hell. Heh.
Huge size slimes - At the moment, this size of slime is only accessed through modding. I think it'd make a great slime boss. The fool is the size of a 4.8 block cube. When killed down to basic form, that's 64 tiny slimes. An interesting fight, no?
Armored Zombie - This is actually a prefix mob that has been done. They would occasionally appear with armor in Survival Test. Well I think that would be a nice prefix mob, with the exception of variation. It would appear wearing any of the 4 armors, and you'd have totally wear down the armor via damage before you could kill the zombie.
Giant Skeleton - A skeleton twice as large as his tiny brethren with 30 hearts of health wielding 2 bows that fire twice as fast. I don't need to say anything else, just let that sink in.
Burning Creeper - Essentially a Flaming creeper that can't be damaged by neither fire or lava., and destroys cacti just be getting near them. If it falls more than 3 blocks, it makes a lava source block where it lands so it can't take fall damage. Wherever it walks, it sets whatever it walked on on fire. 4 times the health of a normal creeper. When it explodes, it has twice the force of a charged creeper (Normal creeper has a force of 3, charged of 6) and explodes in a way similar to the Lava Bomb of that TNT Nuke mod everyone does so enjoy. If THAT is not the scariest thing ever, than just wait until you here my idea for Ghasts.
Dark Ghast - Well, it's a ghast. Except you know, it has hinged tentacles that it can pick you up with and drop you into lava with, if it gets within 15 blocks of you. It's also twice as large as the mob that is already classified as the biggest. Oh yeah, and it has 35 hearts. It has a deathly scary color scheme of Orange and Black. It has several fin-like spikes on its back. It has electric blue eyes. It can see you from 100 blocks away. It shoots fireballs as big as a block that explode with the force of 2 TNT, and still just as fiery. If it gets within range of a normal ghast, it turns it into the same thing it is. And it's coming for you. You'll need this.
Anyways, I'm waiting until 1.8 comes out to post any ideas I have that are non-prefix mob related, as I'm curious to see what 1.8 will hold. Post your thoughts on my ideas.
they should have like a flying exploding mob like a creeper only it flys in swarms and does like 1/2 a heart each if it hits you directly. it would make you pay attention to your suroundings as much as the sky :biggrin.gif:
Overpowered is fun, though. Considering prefix mobs have an 0.001% chance to spawn, it wouldn't be overpowered because you'd see them so rarely. tl;dr you'd have to be looking for them to see them more than once in a blue moon.
Flying creeper, eh? Screw everything notch, you need to add suicide bombers.
Skeletons fire fairly slowly, about 1 arrow every 1.5 seconds. Not that overpowered, in my opinion, to make it slightly faster than one arrow per second. Plus, iron swords are too mainstream. I do like the 30 hearts idea though, I'll add that. Also, just a quick heads up, the Roblox link in your signature gives a 404 error.
