The spider jockey is rare and really not that tough. Along with the new ways hostile mobs can attack (all can pick up armor and items), Mojang should add the ability for zombies, skeletons, and creepers to mount spiders.
If a spider is near one of these mobs (say, 5 blocks) AND the spider is not under any kind of roof, they get on its back and ride it like a spider jockey currently does. Zombies and sword-wielding skeletons get a little more attack range they can actually hit you while riding.
This would just add more variety without adding more mobs, and a creeper riding a spider would be awesome.
Spiders are everywhere, so I wouldn't want mobs mounting spiders, but maybe zombies could have a chance of spawning on spiders, like skeletons do. Not creepers, though, because no spider would allow a deadly exploding creeper on its back (and yes, it is the spider that's in control when skeletons ride it).

it's a good suggestion but i play hardcore , a skeleton would kill me with 2 shots having more mobs mounting others would be a bit difficult , not even mentioning the zombiepigman he kills you in 2 hits. imagine a zombiepigman mounting a ghast? RIP world
There should be a small chance of this happening, but it should be rare. I don't want every third zombie to be riding a spider; it wouldn't make sense.

Ditto to EpicEnderMiner. There should only be about a 25% chance of this happening. Also creepers should never, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER EVER climb a spider.
