What exactly is a Peercer?
Well the peercer is the opposite of the creeper. Peerc comes from creep. It is backwords. The creeper is green, but the Peercer is red. A creeper has no arms, but a Peercer has arms, but floats due to having no legs.
How does it hurt you?
The way it hurts you is due to it is red, it is basicly lava. So whenever you touch it you burn. Since it is the opposite of the creeper, instead of exploding it will implode. Imploding will be where it sucks you up instead of pushing out in all directions. Whenever you incounter one it will have a strong suction on all blocks and mobs around it. It can cause leaves to fall and dirt to move. It will also bring you wherever it goes. Your goal is to kill it before you get too close. They also are hard to knockback.
Where would we find them?
You would find them inside of caves deep deep inside of caves on rare occations. They tend to stay near the bottom of the world close to lava. If you have water in your hand (bucket of water) it won't attack. If you have water in your inventory but not in your players hand, it will attack. If you place water it will float higher in the air and leave.
How often do they spawn?
From their power they spawn rarely. Not as rare as a spider jockey, but easier to find. A little harder to find than an enderman. There are not spawners for them they spawn on their own.
What if they encounter a creeper?
If it encounters a creeper it is a fun show. The creeper will first try to escape its suction. Then when the creeper touches the peercer they will set off a big light and expirence orbs will drop all around along with a music disc.

This is all I can do for the picture. I just took off the feet and made it arms. Please don't hate I am no pixel artist xD
Wait, a newer user that actually puts proper text formatting and thought into his post? What a rare occurrence. The mob sounds interesting, but I don't think taking the Creeper and making everything into opposites is very creative. This mob might have landed better if it was its own thing and wasn't based off another mob.

Hey, you there. Yes, you! Are you thinking about posting a suggestion on the forums anytime soon? If so, please read this before doing so.

It was a basic idea, but I just thought that the anti creeper would be cool. I really think it would be better off as a mod than acually being in the game.
I like the idea but there could be changes, I don't think we need another creeper looking mob, maybe go with somewthing a bit more original. I do like the fact that it moves the landscape and how the player could be pulled closer to it. But for it to fully work it would need to be very weak, I'm talking about 1 hit with iron sword weak. Also knockback would have to be added to it, it sucks things up and could be potentially very hard to hit and it gives the player more of an advantage should they ever encounter one. But one thing that is really increasingly worrying is lets say there is one hanging around one of those ravines that has a lava "river" at the bottom, the "peercer" sucks the player who is standing on stable ground in closer then the player falls off the edge, and they die. I could see that being very frustrating and making people not want to go into caves and not having a very fun expirence caving.
No offence but this really doesn't sound like a good idea at all. Sets you on fire when you make contact is bad enough but how are you supposed to get out of it's range when it can't be knocked back? You can just about get out of the range of a creeper which takes significant knockback.
I understand how you don't like the idea but the thing is Minecraft isn't a challenge. Is it so hard to hold the "s" key and click at the same time in order to kill a mob? I mean I remember when finding enough iron for armor was an achievment for me. Now if you have iron armor it's like your just above being a newbie on the game. I was just thinking an acual mob that acually is a challenge to kill and is a challenge to find at the same time would be cool. And it doesn't have to be the peercer it could be any new mob.

Well, if done right, a mob that is touched from any side causing damage and/or a mob that has imploding or "vacuum" capabilities could very well work for vanilla. Just not in the form of a red Creeper.

Well they wouldn't spawn in open areas perhaps. If we could just make it to where it is hard to find. People think of caves as super fun now and no challenge. If you watch an older minecraft let's play the guy/girl will be freaked out when in a cave. Well now we go in a cave like it is nothing. We need that piece of fear in people knowing at any given moment they can encounter one. I also do think it needs to be weak. I would say 3 hits with a stone sword , 2 with an iron , and 1 with diamond kills it. Plus the suction wouldn't be too hard. It's knock back can be there, but really hard to notice. Maybe it goes back half a block.

Yes I understand the whole anti creeper thing doesn't suite it too well.
Enderman, Cave Spider, the upcoming Wither Skeletons? Take your pick.
I think enderman are not a big threat. I never see cave spiders and i explore a lot. Wither skeletons are in nether, and it really doesn't effect me. I think we need a bigger challenge in the game.

What I was driving at was that you could propose a new idea in the near future or something since you got the mob behavior down already, and would just need the new aesthetic to go with it.

I like the idea of a fire monster, but not as an anti-creeper. Just make it a fire spirit or something, it can spawn in caves near lava, and not implode or resemble creepers.

When will Minecraft stop updating? When pigs fly over the frozen plains of hell, twice in a blue moon, while Taylor Swift sings a song called, "Maybe I'm the Problem".

I will be redoing this idea on a new thread later on when I have time.

hint: bow + arrow problem solved.
OT: perhaps an upside down creeper face ?

Either way, I don't really think we need an anti-creeper.
Nope different guy.
And I understand we dont need an anti creeper, but this just came to mind.

I really like your idea.
Thanks.
Yes it would the behavior on the other hand wouldn't so much.
