After viewing the 1.9 pre-release, I had an idea from the snow golems. This idea was a sentinel, or a guardian statue. Like the snow golem, the sentinel walks aimlessly around and shoots at hostile mobs (with arrows). in order to defend your bases from griefers, these would be great guards, as they would shoot anyone other than their creator. right-clicking them will turn them on and off, so you won't have to worry about them killing your friends. although they are very useful, they are also very weak, as they are only a little stronger than skeletons. they appear as a featureless version of you, but made from netherbrick, having only a slit to see through like a helmet, and carrying a bow. In order to keep people from cheating and making a huge amount of them, they would shoot as fast as a skeleton (slow) and they would be made in a crafting arrangement like or somewhat like so:
1.netherbrick 2.blaze rod 3.netherbrick
4.netherbrick 5.bow 6.netherbrick
7.netherbrick 8.potion 9.netherbrick
(the potion could be a specific one in the new update coming up)
so, that's pretty much what my idea is, a protective statue that only stays neutral with you as with a protected residence that only lets you build there. and before you go: "there's a mod for that," remember that any mod can be a game feature. i did my best to sort out any problems i could think of, and i don't see why we can't build our own armies. i would love that! well anyways, thanks for taking a look, i hope this gets in the game.
It's good that it walks around and protects enemies, but it's just too similar to the dog.
It would be nice if it was in the game, but I think I can live without it.

I think we need some "useless" humanoids to be creatable, just so then our cities aren't empty.
