Lurker
AI:Aggressive
Lurks in the darkness, just out of view of its "prey" (the player or other fish).Its attack style is hit-&-run, where it charges at its target, bites, then swims a certain distance away. It never swims near the surface.
Spawn:In deep waters, where it is darker and where there could be more valuable resources.
Spawnrate: Uncommon
Drops:eat and/or fish
Additional Info:bioluminescent (gives off its own light). Like the spider, it has certain parts of its body that glow in the dark, which can give you an early warning when in dark areas.


And here is an example of what I mean by bioluminescence.

I love it! Nice pic! It could drop some sort of "glow scale" or something that you could put into a torch that would work underwater. Crafting would be something like this:

= the "glow scale"

I think that the glowscales, instead of being used to craft a special torch, could be ground into glowstone dust, similar to how you get wooden planks from wood. Then players would have another way to make lanterns when that update comes.

i can see myself getting scared shitless swimming around in dark water
awesome
might i suggest a drop though?

Drop: Glowing scales
DropRate: Uncommon
Uses: can put them on top steel Helmets to create a Miner's helmet capable of producing light for a shorter distance than a torch, but its always on

underwater stuff is so cool
im gonna have to wear diamond armor before i get in a lake or ocean looking for those beasts

great idea I almost didn't read this thread :tongue.gif:

maybe this could grab your leg and pull you down to the bottom of the ocean if you sty in the water too long (but it would let you go at the bottom if you did not die)

it could also be more common around squid, like the way wolves kill sheep these kill squid?

Once again I present another one of my mob concepts, the Shallowbreath. This mob is inspired by qwertyz's Gascraft.

I'm also adding some extra info that I'll be using for all of my future mobs, called "Spawnrate". Basically it means how often it will spawn. I'll classify the spawn rate like this:
Common-Pretty much the spawnrate of the pig and cow.
Uncommon-a little rarer than common, but you will see at least a few each 2-3 days.
Rare-This is the spawnrate that's equal to the slimes, chances are you won't see one for a while.
Very Rare-You'll be lucky if you even see one of these mobs.

A Little Backstory
Many miner's have reported strange things happening recently around coal deposits. These miners report a strange new mob that forms from the concentrated gases of blackdamp. Nicknamed the shallowbreath, this mob, made completely from gas, is believed to be extremely dangerous. This mob is hostile and will try to kill you. If you spot a strange formation of blackdamp that seperates from the main gas cloud, or if you see a cloud of blackdamp that has white eyes, use caution, as it might be a shallowbreath. If you spot one, please report to the nearest M.O.S.S. (Miners' Organization of Safety Surveillances) mining office.

ShallowBreath
AI: Hostile, it will attack you on sight.
Spawns: Near coal deposits or in blackdamp gases. (once again see qwerty's Gascraft thread)
Spawnrate:Rare to Very Rare
Drops: coal?
Other: Since it is completely made out of gas, swords and regular arrows will have no effect on it. You can go through it, and it can through you. I've given it a unique attack. Instead of it trying to shoot something at you, and istead of it trying to hit you, it will try to suffocate you. The shallow breath will try to move towards you and get you to stand inside of it. When you are on inside one, it will be like you're underwater. Essentially, if you stay inside a shallowbreath long enough, you will drown. Since swords and arrows have no effect on it, what does? Fire is the answer. You can catch it on fire with the tool Flint and Steel, which will kill almost instantanously. Lava will also cause it to catch on fire. I'm not sure what the sounds it should make are. Maybe a sizzling or a hissing noise?


Here's what it could look like when it tries to suffocate a player.

I think if it gets too close to a torch, it will start to take damage. I think thats better than the flint idea, because no one really walks around with flint.

Quote from angelo270696 »

since everyone is talking about how it would recieve damage, then i have a question would it be hurt by a high level of light or would it be able to come out of caves, i ask because it is meant for spawning in caves and so i would suppose it would be hurt by light.

Quote from duartel »

They should be lit on fire by almost anything, not only f&s or lava. Torches should also light them on fire.

I believe that the idea of sharks being added has already been suggested, but I wanted to post my ideas and custom art about it. I'm open to criticism, since I'm new to Minecraft and know that some of my ideas are probably pretty bad and/or vague.

Hammerhead
Mob AI: Passive, but aggressive when attacked. Is attracted to schools of fish, eating them when it finds them.This way it could add a little difficulty when looking for a place to fish.
Spawns:The hammerhead spawns in shallow waters, usually near the coast.
Drops:Fish that it has eaten(?)



Great White
Mob AI: Aggressive. Like the hammerhead it is attracted to schools of fish. Unlike the hammerhead it is also attracted to moving boats and swimming players.
Spawns:In deep waters, where schools of fish could be more common.
Drops: Scales and teeth


Scales could be used to make stronger arrows that do more damage to enemies.
[] []
[] []
[] ]" title="-<->" /> []
=scales
Teeth could be used like the scales, except that they could be used to make spike clubs.


[] []
=tooth
Which would equal something like this.

The club could deal more damage than the sword, but not last as long.
