Notch revealed a screenshot of one of the new monsters for 1.8!
[readmore]
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!
which will probobly make the night even more dangerous...
As for my own opinion, I think this might be fake. The held sandblock looks pasted in the picture, and the figures look a bit drawn.
As for Slenderman, these unknown creatures don't have tentacles, don't wear a suit, are entirely black (no white face) and have eyes. Doubt this has to do with Slenderman.
What these creatures might do:
-Pick up and throw blocks
-Pick up and place blocks, meaning they can change landscapes or build (Notch said something about villages on his blog about 1.8, didn't he?)
-Pick up dropped items and build/throw them.
-Be pretty damn creepy.
And why does everyone seem to think these will be hostile? They might be peaceful nighttime-only villagers, trying to build shelter from the sunlight!
I always loved frightening creatures that turn out to be friendly...
I hate anything like Slenderman.
Does anyone notice the REALLY weird tree next to the picture?
Will they destroy ur house?!
I think its a destructor mob. It removes blocks of your house. And the mob can only remove 1 block and it will remain holding the block. Killing it might drop the block that it removed.
Probably different areas has different types

EVERYONE; Farm obsidian, We need to make obsidian houses, with iron doors.
And also, keep a sword/bow in your inventory. These thing will take over Minecraft.
