Seen here is a screenshot of a new monster in the works for 1.8. While Notch didn't specify exactly what it was, it seems fairly apparent that this new arrival in Minecraft isn't especially friendly-looking. What is it? What can it do? We will keep you updated as this information becomes available!
Update - Thanks to Nyanners and KSMF, respectively, for the following two enhanced images!
That is not a tree.. its obviusly a mushroom, those were introduced in an update on 1.8 a while ago..
There will be villages, but that doesn't mean they are friendly.
one up front is holding sand, the walking one in the back is holding some dirt.
castle now!!" lol
