---Introduction---
Hello, everyone! Ever feel like mobs just aren't diverse or unique enough? Ever feel like you're seeing the same stuff over and over again? Maybe you aren't compelled to explore because there isn't anything out there that you can't get from your farm. That's what this thread is about - fixing mobs. This is going to be a long one, so I'm splitting it up into a bunch of sections and spoilers. Let me know what you think of my ideas!

---Better Mobs---

This section is about changing our current mobs. This is mainly about variants and drops, not behavior - though there is a bit of behavior change suggested here. I'll structure it like this: Mob name -Things I would like to see changed - New spawning and drops - Variant name, spawning, texture, behavior, and drops (if variant is suggested) - Drop trades (if any are suggested)

---All Hostile Mobs---
I believe that all mobs should have one little AI change to them - they can all detect you even if you're behind them and sneaking. It makes sense if you're walking over noisy stuff like pressure plates and tripwires, but, other than that, they really shouldn't notice you.

---Bats---

-Changes: Variants
-Variant description: While bats aren't hostile to the player, little vampire bats could spawn at night in plains biomes and prey on cows. They don't attempt to kill them - they just bite them and do half a heart of damage and fly away, meaning that over time a group of bats could kill a cow where one failed. They aren't affected by sunlight as they are based off of vampire bats and not vampire bats, however (for game balance reasons) they will stay out of areas with a block light of 8 or above. They also sleep during the day. They do not drop anything and exist only to make your life difficult.

---Chicken---

-Changes: Spawning and Variants
-Changes to spawning: Chicken originated in the jungles of southeast Asia, and since Steve is one of the first and only person around, who spread them everywhere? The Neandertal testificates? They didn't really spread too far. As such, I believe that chicken should only spawn in jungles, extreme hills, and the fenced area of a butcher's back yard in villages.
-Variant description: While the regular chicken would spawn in the above areas, the red chicken would only spawn in jungles, and would (duh) have a red texture. It would drop red feathers that (while otherwise no different than regular feathers) could be traded to priests and farmers in villages for emeralds.

---Cows---

-Changes: Spawning and Variants
-Changes to spawning: Cows are kinda silly in some places. Why do they have spots and short hair in arctic conditions? Because they're silly! That's why! I suggest that the cows we know and love only spawn in plains biomes and butchers' yards.
-Variant description: Long-haired aurochs that spawn in ice plains and look like the cows in Skyrim.-2nd variant description: Fierce, neutral jungle cows that spawn in ice biomes. Just kidding - they spawn in jungles. They would look similar to normal cows but have brown and tan fur instead of black and white.

---Sheep---

-Changes: Spawning and Variants
-Changes to spawning: Sheep originated in and are native to mountainous areas. I suggest that sheep only spawn in EH biomes and near villages.
-Variants: I suggest a long-horn sheep with big, curly horns that spawns in ice mountains and cold taiga hills, can walk up slopes of 5 blocks (but only on plain stone), and will try to butt players off of mountains if threatened. Big horn sheep are neutral and when killed drop horns that can be traded to the blacksmith alongside an emerald for a little hornsword that does as much damage as an iron sword, enchants as well as gold, but only lasts as long as a stone one.

---Pigs---

-Changes: Spawning, Variants, and Behavior
-Changes to spawning: Pigs should spawn only in jungles, savannas, and plains.
-Behavioral changes: If the new mobs I suggest are added, this means that they will be hunted by saber-toothed cats and lions. While the lion/smilodon is stalking up on it, the pig will be unaware (there's one exception - I'll mention that next) and will continue about its business. Once the feisty felid breaks into a sprint, though, the pig will try its best to run in the opposite direction. As I already have mentioned, there is an exception to pigs being unaware of cats sneaking up on them - if it's nighttime and a full moon is up, they will be able to spot the cats and run away before ever becoming truly endangered.
-Variant description: I suggest the red river hog! They spawn in jungles (they're hostile unless you find and tame a baby one) and are a source of tusks which could then be used for the long-awaited spike block!

---Zombies---

-Changes: Variants
-Variant description: I know, I know - we already have four zombies. However, I feel like we don't have enough straightforward zombies. I'm not referring to the testificates - just variants of the original. I'd like to see different textures for different biomes. In jungles, it would be nice to see the zombie overgrown with vines and mushrooms with a texture more akin to that of a zombie pigman. I know that this would require a new model (meaning that this is technically not a normal zombie), but I think it can still count. These guys could also occasionally drop vines and mushrooms
-2nd variant description: I think it would also be nice to see cold, iced-over looking zombies in cold biomes. They could occasionally drop snowballs.
-3rd variant description: In deserts and savannas, I feel like more mummified-looking (from the dryness and the heat) zombies would be nice. They could also occasionally drop bone meal.
-4th variant description: Zombie horse jockeys. That is all (not really). All zombie horse jockeys ride the unused zombie horse (which is wearing any tier of horse armor), are wearing a full suit of any tier of armor, and are carrying any tier of weapon, however, if it's diamond, they will not drop the items upon death.

---Skeletons---

-Changes: Variants and Behavior
-Behavioral changes: Skeletons tend to shoot at you and through other things if you're not being blocked by a wall. I feel like skeletons should hold their shot if they notice another mob that isn't a player walking towards their line of fire and wait until it's passed by before shooting. This would make music disks hard enough to obtain to warrant an achievement for getting one.
-Variant description: Baby skeletons and cat jockeys! Yay!
-2nd variant description: Skeleton horse jockeys. All skeleton horse jockeys ride the unused skeleton horse (which is wearing any tier of horse armor), are wearing a full suit of any tier of armor, and are carrying any tier of weapon, however, if it's diamond, they will not drop the items upon death.
-3rd variant description: Some skeletons found in roofed forests wear green Robin Hood costumes. If you don't know what Robin Hood wore, think of Link or Tingle from the Legend of Zelda series. Their outfits look very similar to historical descriptions of Robin Hood - all the way down to the little, pointy caps.

---Creeper---

-Changes: Variants and Behavior
-Behavioral changes: Mobs are kinda silly in that they don't work together to attack you. If you're two or three blocks above a creeper and any other baddie, the creeper will sacrifice itself and blow up to launch the other enemy up over the ledge so that said enemy may continue their pursuit of you, or, if it's just a one-high fence, they'll just distance themselves from other bad guys and blow a hole in the fence so that the others can all just start pouring through. No place is safe. Also - if it is daytime and a creeper has not yet noticed the player's presence, it will move out of the shade and stand in the open to bask in the sun (photosynthesis is important, kids!)
-Variant description: Creepers are living, walking, evil plants. As such, I suggest that they reflect the biome they're in! For instance, in the jungle, some creepers' textures include broad leaves and cocoa pods.
-2nd variant description: Some creepers that spawn in cold biomes and extreme hills have more of a "sprucey" leaf texture and color.
-3rd variant description: Some creepers that spawn in flower forests have little flowers on them
-4th variant description: Some creepers that spawn in savannas have less leaves and more mud on them
-5th variant description: Some creepers that spawn in deserts and mesas have no leaves and are just little wooden skeletons. If I can ever find my old thumb drive, I'll upload an image of my creeper texture.
-6th variant description: Some creepers found in the mega taiga have mushrooms and dead leaves (podzol) on them.
-7th variant description: Some creepers found in swamps have more slimy-looking textures and have mushrooms on them.
-8th variant description: Some creepers found in roofed forests have darker leaves that reflect the biome color and better hide them in the shadowy understory of the forest.

---Witches---

-Changes: Spawning and Behavior
-Changes to spawning: Witches now only spawn in swamp huts and roofed forest towers (with a priest locked at the top for a fun little poke at fairy tales.)
-Behavioral changes: I wrote a huge post about that so, instead of rewriting it, I'll just put it here.

---Testificates---

-Changes: Spawning, Behavior, Environment, and Variants
-Environmental changes: I feel as though savanna villages have room for improvement. Instead of being the wooden homes we currently see, I feel as though they should be made of either dirt and grass or clay and look like this. Also, I feel as though desert villages should look a bit more like a traditional desert city (just not as large).
-Changes to spawning: The villagers we all know and love should spawn only in plains villages - the variants will take their place in he other villages.
-Behavioral changes: I think it would be nice to see the villagers give quests (Find Tes 3 pet cats - reward: 52 xp, Let Tifi follow you into the woods and teach her how to tame a wolf - reward: 340 xp, Build a beacon in the village center for Cate - reward: 50000 xp, etc.). If their quests don't include doing generic Minecraft stuff, then it would be cool to see more unique items scattered across the world that allow you to do these quests. For instance, when you get a quest from the golem to slay the giant that keeps attacking their village from the north, a giant will spawn just beyond render distance and you can then head north and find this giant and kill it to complete the quest. Also, I would like to see priests trade potions and farmers trade melons, pumpkins, carrots, sugarcane, and potatoes.
-Variant description: Desert testificates should have tan skin, black hair, brown eyes (signifying that they're Arabic), and wear turbans (As that helps signify the distinction between Arabic and other tan-skinned people. I know that not all Arabs practice Islam, but the turban originated in that area of the world and is what most western people would associate with the Middle East.). The priests would wear full body garments.
-2nd variant description: Savanna villagers should have dark skin, hair, and eyes and wear Taqiyahs to show that they are Saharan Africans (Same thing I said about the turban, folks.).
-3rd variant description: These testificates spawn in mesa villages that look like this and have tan skin, brown eyes, and dark hair to represent the Anasazi culture.
-4th variant description: Inuit! These guys are little Eskimo villagers that live in igloo towns in ice plains biomes.
-5th variant description: I suggest that villages have guards to help protect against zombies and unruly players.

---New Mobs---

I feel as though Minecraft isn't "alive" enough and, as such, am suggesting these mobs to fill in the empty world of Minecraft.

White-tailed deer --- They spawn in forests --- They drop raw venison which, when cooked, restores 8 hunger points (4 chicken nuggets) --- They're neutral, but will run away form the player on sight. If seasons are added to the game, they will become a bit more aggressive in the spring. --- They have 16 HP --- They can be seen running from dire wolves (see below)

Wooly Mammoth --- They spawn in ice plains (not ice plains spikes) and may be included in Inuit quests. --- They drop tusks that can be traded to blacksmiths and librarians for lots and lots of emeralds. --- They're neutral --- They have 200 HP and the damage dealt by them depends on the attack they chose to use. They may attempt to trample you. They'll run at you and knock you back and flat onto the ground (this does 5 damage). If you don't get up in time and they get the chance to stomp on you, that's an instant 30 damage (that's if they hit your chest, arms, or legs. If it's your head, you're pretty much done. 50 damage, or 25 hearts unarmored). That's a very rare occurrence, though. They'll rarely do that. Most likely, they simply try to jab you with their tusks (10 damage) or swing their heads side-to-side to knock you away with their tusks (6 damage). Be warned, though - they travel in large herds that are usually ten to fifteen strong, and if you attack one mammoth in the group - you've attacked all of them.

American Alligator --- They spawn in swamps --- They drop scales that can be made into chainmail armor or traded to the blacksmith for emeralds --- They're neutral unless you're swimming near them while they're swimming. They have 30 HP and do 6 damage on land and 20 if they can manage to do the death roll in the water.

Alligator Snapping Turtles --- They spawn in swamps --- They drop a lot of xp and a turtle egg which can be hatched into a pet for you or a testificate if it's part of a quest. --- They're hostile --- They have a mere 16 HP, but only take damage if you hit them on the head or legs (they can retreat into their shell). They also take minimal damage from hits to the shell if you're using an axe or pick. (0 damage from wooden axes, 0 from gold, 1 from stone, 2 from iron, and 3 from diamond. 1 damage from wooden picks, 0 damage from gold, 2 from stone, 3 from iron, and four from diamond). This makes them very difficult to defeat, but you're probably still thinking that that alone is not worth a ton of xp. You're correct - however, this is my counterargument: I'd wager that to be around... say... 15 damage? I'd also like to say that they negate leather and gold armor and chain works best against them. This is why they're such great pets! Also, witches will sometimes have these as pets, so if you take that and my little iron golem suggestion... beware...
Chimpanzee --- They spawn in jungles. --- They drop leather and sadness --- They are neutral and live in colonies. --- They have 30 HP and do 5 damage per hit.

Tigers --- They spawn in jungles and savannas --- They drop leather and claws that can be traded to blacksmiths for emeralds or attached to your sword with an anvil to add a level of sharpness to it. --- They are neutral. --- They have 40 HP and do 8 damage per hit.

Lions --- They spawn in savannas --- They drop leather and claws --- They are usually neutral. but will always be hostile the day after a full moon (it's hard to hunt and get food in the moonlight) --- They have 30 HP and do 6 damage per hit, but they spawn in prides unlike the solitary tigers that will attack other tigers that come into their territory. They can be seen hunting pigs.

Elephants --- They spawn in jungles and savannas --- They drop leather and tusks --- They are neutral --- They have 50 HP and do 15 damage. They also spawn in large herds. Beware.

Lemurs --- They spawn in jungles and savannas (if you take my trees suggestion into account, then they will spawn exclusively in baobab trees and mahogany trees. ---They drop leather and sadness --- They are peaceful --- They have 10 HP and can be tamed.

Parrots --- They spawn in jungles --- They drop feathers --- They are neutral and can be tamed --- They could possibly serve as some sort of voice chat mechanism for multiplayer Minecraft. If players want you to talk in their house, then they right click their parrot to unmute you. Unless there's a parrot around, though, you can't speak, so this idea ultimately just went out the window... --- They have 4 HP and do 2 damage.

Toucans --- They spawn in jungles --- They drop feathers and toucan bills which are used in potions of gliding (basically, if you walk over a ledge, you would normally fall straight down, but this makes you glide safely to the ground, allowing you to take no fall damage and cover a much larger distance than you could have on foot in the amount of time you were airborne). A fermented spider eye creates a potion of gravity that makes you fall faster and multiplies the fall damage by 1.25. Tier two increases it by 1.5. --- They are neutral and can be tamed --- They have 4 HP and do 2 damage.

Dire Wolves --- Not the GoT kind (I hate that franchise for making people think I'm a fan of the show when I mention dire wolves. I've never read the books or seen the show.) I'm talking about the real ones. They spawn in savannas, forests, ice plains, and mega taigas in packs of about five or six. --- They drop nothing --- They are neutral --- They have 10 HP (20 if tamed) and do 6 damage. --- They can be seen hunting deer and pigs as a pack. They can also be seen trying to take mammoth carcasses from smilodons (see below) or waiting until the smilodon is done eating and going in to take the rest, or even, albeit VERY, VERY rarely, attempting to take on a mammoth themselves, though this usually results in one of the wolves dying and the others scattering.

Orca Whale --- They spawn in oceans --- They drop nothing --- They are neutral --- They have 200 HP, do 20 damage with their tails, and do 50 if they bite you. If they swallow you whole, you'd best just wait and see where the currents take you.

Yes - I'm aware that this is a dolphin.

Dolphin --- They spawn in oceans --- They drop nothing --- They are neutral but tamable --- They have 20 HP and do 5 damage, but spawn in pods of at least 10. --- They are highly intelligent and can be traded fish and other dolphiny things in return for sponges.

Anaconda --- They spawn in jungles --- They are hostile --- they have 40 hearts but take a while to kill you - They take two different methods of attack, depending on your armor. If you're unclothed: they first hit you, which does no damage but does inflict Nausea VIII (ten seconds) and Slowness I (five seconds). They then wrap around you. At this point, you start to take suffocation damage as though you were in a wall. The only way to survive is to keep on punching/slashing. If you are wearing armor, though (even leather), they will simply continue biting you at four damage per hit.--- They drop scales that can be made into scale plate armor (Helmet and leggings protect as well as leather and the chestplate and boots protect as well as gold but the armor lasts as long as diamond)

Image removed due to an invalid URL: http://wafflesatnoon...3/Cow-Snake.jpg

Smilodon Fatalis --- They spawn in savannas and ice plains --- They drop nothing --- They are usually neutral, though will always be hostile the day after a full moon (it's hard to hunt and get food in the moonlight) --- They have 30 HP and do 25 damage (as well as possibly knocking you to the ground in a new animation) if they successfully pounce at and land on you and are not pushed off/killed in time (They do 10 damage upon knocking you to the ground, and, if not pushed to the side or killed right after, will bite you and do another 15. This is a guaranteed kill against an unarmored player). They do this when they're stalking you because all other food options are gone the day after a full moon. They do 5 damage from regular attacks (scratching - they do this if pushed off of the player they tackled or if the player attacked them first) - and 15 if they are given enough time to rear back and bite you (they do this at random during a fight. They're a challenging fight. --- They can be seen stalking pigs and mammoths (usually at night). They can also be seen disputing with dire wolves over their kills as dire wolves will occasionally try to surround a smilodon and take its food. The day after a full moon, the smilodon may be seen attempting to steal food from wolves.

As I metioned in my own thread on skeletal/zombie horse (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1977129-skeleton-undead-horses/) ,We can't just have Horse Jockies running about the overworld, players would just wait until the rider burned in the daylight then steal the horse.

Also, Creepers are plants? this is just a proven fact now?

Other than that though, I love this suggestion. I like how you didn't go with the cliched Boar idea and used Red river hogs. My favorite idea from this post would be Alligator snapping turtles, keep them things away from my melon farm though.

Actually, as I stated, they're wearing a full suit of armor. I already fixed this problem. With a helmet, they won't burn. Also, The horses will be hostile, too.

Speculation. I should probably mention that.

Thanks for the support! Also - I would like to comment on your profile pic; it's funny that that's your pic since earlier today I figured out how to play Clock Town on the clarinet!
Quote from SVGK

notch said so, he said that if you felt one with your hands, it would have a dry, leafy texture.

It really only adds to the speculation...

The Mata-Mata and Leafy sea dragon would both probably feel leafy if you were to touch them, but that doesn't make them plants.
Did Notch actually say creepers were plants, or just that they feel leafy?

Unless undead horses are changed to burn in daylight also. Also I don't think the player is able to ride the undead horses, but I may be referring to the Mo creatures mod.

Also, Creepers are plants? this is just a proven fact now?

Notch said it in his Twitter.

I absolutely love this suggestion and hope it is implemented.

I Like the for the most part but more of the animals should behave like wolves, neutral unless attacked. The lions, tigers, elephants, and wooly mammoths all should. The whitetail deer should extremely timid and run away from any player. Would the collasal squid attack you in your boat or just when you're swimming? I think that's probably a little too many to add so I would just pick like ten of them to add. As for the variants, I'm all for the changing of the look but not any of the behaviors. The quests idea is good too. With a few changes I could support.

Thanks! I was afraid that this would be the first thread of mine to go completely unchallenged - a little criticism is healthy!

Only Endermen and spiders are an exception to this definition. The lions, tigers, elephants, and wooly mammoths all should. The whitetail deer should extremely timid and run away from any player.

That would probably make more sense. What does the general consensus say?

In a lot of mobs you mention that they aren't native to this or that. However since when has Minecraft been realistic?

I'm simply justifying pulling them away from certain biomes so that the player actually has a reason to go explore others.

EDIT:
This was originally a comment of mine expressing dissatisfaction with a glitch that was occurring with the forums that seems to have since been resolved.
Please disregard.

>Add a crow on witch shoulder or hat
.the reason why villagers will never have guards because there's the irongolem maybe in ice biomes they will add snowman to protect them

If you read my tougher witches thread, you'll see that I mentioned witches having pet bats.
Also, I am aware of this with the villagers, but the problem there is that iron golems only spawn in extremely large or player made/expanded villages, meaning that most villages are defenseless if the player neglects/attacks them.

>Deer , u can make a reindeer for the snow biomes too and you can ride them like horses (after that you will become santa claus :3 kidding).
> Why will be add a wolly Mammoth can't you see he's extinct ? I still like it and i suggest that u can attack any mobs with this beast.
> Alligator , but make his hostile since he's gona attack you in water .
> Elephants that u can ride them .

I may add caribou and camels. That's a great idea! (I'll credit you)
While I would like a unique island jungle biome, I feel like that may never get added.
The alligators being neutral on land is like spiders being neutral in daylight - they know they have less of a chance where you can easily see/fight back.

/support for better mobs
but maybe you can add/change some :
>Add a camouflage creeper that looks like a cactus in desert biome of course
That would be a bit useless; creepers aren't shaped like cacti. If you're suggesting an exploding cactus mob, that would be OP
>Add a crow on witch shoulder or hat
>make the jungle chicken more brownish and lay brown eggs
The red chicken is based off of a real life jungle fowl.
>i don't think zombie/horse jockey will be a good idea , they will run x2 faster than a baby zombie .
>and for skeletons remove the cat jockey there is already a spider jockey .
Why? It would be creepy and adorable!
.the reason why villagers will never have guards because there's the irongolem maybe in ice biomes they will add snowman to protect them

/support for :
>Deer , u can make a reindeer for the snow biomes too and you can ride them like horses (after that you will become santa claus :3 kidding).
>Why will be add a wolly Mammoth can't you see he's extinct ? I still like it and i suggest that u can attack any mobs with this beast.
That would be OP
>Alligator , but make his hostile since he's gona attack you in water .
>Elephants that u can ride them .
That would be cool. Maybe Jeb could ask John Olarte for help with this.
>Lemurs but it will be better if they have a madagascar island to go and search for them like mooshroom biome .
>Parrots, parrots gives you damage if you catch them and make it they can mimic nearby mobs /sounds .
>toucan,but i think parrots are enough you can add crows in forests/structures if you want .
You really like crows, don't you?
>Whale , and if whale hits you ,you will loose 5 hearts .
Please rephrase this suggestion. I've no idea what it is you're saying.
>I suggest fish that live indeeper oceans such as vampire squid
That's a good idea.
>I suggest to add a camel for travelling in deserts and since desert has no mobs .

I think in 1.8 there will be some changes on mobs like u mentioned for the cows/pigs/chickens.
And it will be better if we start with like deers/reindeer because there is already a texture of them
and then i prefer parrots/birds etc i think everyone likes them to have them as pets .

Sorry for quoting you again, but I've just noticed a few other things you've said here that I have answers to.

What we need more than anything else, is a hostile water mob. DrZhark of Mo'Creatures can clearly code an underwater mob that attacks and changes elevation, so why can't Mojang? Shark, Kraken, Dark Squid, Poison Jellyfish, some new sea monster, whatever. Some of these suggestions are good, but we need that hostile water mob first.

They hired a guy to code a water mob in back in Beta, but he indefinitely took a "break".
As for why the others can't code it in:
Notch didn't want a stiff model like DrZhark's fish and sharks. His fish and sharks may have many parts in their models, but their parts don't move dynamically. Notch once tried to code a nice-looking, moving fish model into the game, but Minecraft couldn't handle it. Until Dinnerbone finishes cleaning up the code, a good-looking fish is not possible.

Great Ideas!
All Mobs You Came Up With Should Be Added In,
And You Could Also Suggest Sabre-Toothed Cats.
Seeing As You Have The Mammoth And Dire Wolves,
Sabre-Toothed Cats Would Easily Fit In.
.

Done!
I added the Smilodon Fatalis to the list!
What are your thoughts?
