Had to shorten the title to fit.

So when lightning hits creepers, they become electrified and produce a much larger crater. Do other monsters also get supercharged?

EDIT for those who don't already know:



Creeper bit is near the end, click to 2:20 to see it get struck and shortly thereafter blow a HUGE hole in the ground once it gets kind of close to the player. I should mention that this player had modded their game to increase lightning strikes and thunderstorms, but they didn't mod creepers or power armor for the creepers in any way.

Also, lightning hurts the player if they get struck. COOL

Holy crap. That vid made me want to crawl into an obsidian 2x1 space and huddle. Those super creepers are like TNT on crack.

wow I can't believe there are super creepers now... YES

I'm too scared to see that video...

I hope it just kills jockies... I don't want tnt shooting skeletons riding spiders with laser guns... or whatever would happen.

Super creeper? Holy ****************************************************************************. No, but seriously, we're all gonna die!!!!!

It would be cool if zombies came back to life and helped you
I also like the pigmen

So, I hear we have Lightning Creepers now.

Yeah, yeah, we're all ####ing screwed.

Super creeper huh? *thinks of plan for world domination*

Oh ****, I think I am going to hide in my cobble house since its storming in my game.

Oh, and this reminds of that one Pokemon thing.

"They're using the thunder as armor!"

I believe all of the mobs except pigs and creepers will just be set on fire for a short while. Notch already confirmed that pigs will turn into zombie pigmen, and if anyone remembers that picture that Mojang posted that said "ered Creepers", this is likely what they are. Probably referred to as Powered Creepers.
