Hello everyone!
Today, I would like to introduce a new mob called the Shade!
Why should they be added?
Mojang hasn't added any common hostile mobs into Minecraft since enderman. Yes, witches and bats are being added into 1.4, but witches only spawn in Swamp Huts, and bats can be one-shotted easily. I think Mojang should add a new hostile mob that can be found everywhere like skeletons and zombies.
|*~Shades~*|
Shades are undead, hostile mobs that attack you when you come into range with them. Like zombies and skeletons, shades burn up slowly in the sunlight, and they rarely wear armor.
Health Points :20 ( × 10)
Attack Strength : Easy - 3 () Medium - 4 ()-5 () Hard - 7 ()
I believe that Shades should do slightly more damage than zombies because they are rarer than zombies and skeletons. Also, Shades, in the stories, are usually harder to kill.
Spawn :
Light level 6 or less and are a tad bit rarer than skeletons and zombies.
Drops :
(Possibly a new item?)
Nothing seems to fit the Shade, so I think a new item should be added. This item should be used to make a new kind of potion. Probably a potion like nausea, blindness, etc. I am not sure what the item should be, so I'm going to put nothing under drops.
XP : 7 because they are slightly harder to kill than zombies but are easier than blazes
Appearance :
Shades are a 2 block high mob with a dark body and a purple hood. They have red eyes and don't show their head so much.
Behavior :
Shades will begin to chase you once you are in their 24 block sight range. 24 blocks is 8 blocks farther than what a skeleton can see, so you will have to be cautious when you are in the open night! Shades will slowly regenerate health if you do not attack them quick enough and will not suffocate in sand or gravel, but if they have less than 3 hearts left they will regenerate health a bit faster. When you are hit by a Shade, you get a Slowness effect which disables you from successfully running away from them.
Pros :
It's a new mob! Why wouldn't someone want a new mob?
They are unique and are somewhat difficult to fight with!
Shades have a longer sight range!
Fits into Minecraft!
Adds more variety into mob combat!
Cons :
I would imagine they are a bit difficult to program.
Could take some time, but I think it would be worth it!
Not noob friendly unlike skeletons and zombies which are easier to kill.
Possible Changes :
Making Shades neutral
Adding a new item
More experience
Adding a unique feature (like teleportation)
Adding magic
If you like Shades, IT WOULD BE FANTASTIC IF YOU... FOLLOW THE TOPIC! LEAVE SOME FEEDBACK! CAST A VOTE! PRESS UP REPUTATION! SHOW YOUR SUPPORT! COME BACK LATER!
Thank you so much for checking this out! It means a lot! I hope you like this idea! Bye!

Also, the first time I saw Endermen, I didn't know their name so I thought they were Demons XD
Yeah, I noticed, so I changed them to make them not teleport. Thanks for the feedback! ;D
