Eurypterids are long-extinct arthrpods that lived millions of years before dinosaurs. They were top predators in both fresh and salt water, and the family included the largest arthropods ever to exist. It would be awesome if they were put into Minecraft, and be pretty much the spiders of the water, hunting squids and animals who go for a swim. They would be fast and furious, and well camoflaged by the seabed, moving as fast as spiders and dealing 3 hearts damage, but in return they only have 5 hearts health. They would not spawn commonly, or in groups. Their drop would probably be some form of shell, and would be used in some or other potion (Swim speed, maybe?).
Uhhh... congrats! you found something in the water I'm more terrified of than squid. I say no. Yes, prehistorics should be in, as long as none are in the water. Yes, we should tame these, just to keep away from the others. And the tamed ones should be less freaky.
This is a Eurypterid.

But underwater
Did I mention these mother******s are 2 metres long?
I'm thinking we should tame them with ink sacs or something, cos squids are going to be their main prey.
And Im horrified of squid. jees, that solar apocalypse mod sure sounds dandy right now...
Edit: keep in mind this is the guy who came up with flying, reusable creepers and molten spiders.
