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!
I red (wrong red) notch's blog he said he is trying to make the game creepy he is doing a great job!!! These thing are terrifying they are creepier than a a ummmm some thing that's creepy!!! I am gonna have night mares
And what/who is slender man?
Correction, he's adding to the fear into every minecraft players heart. The creeper is by far the worst enemy to come across, because it doesn't make any noise (spider = spider noise, zombie = groan, archer = sound with arrows, creeper = silence) and that's what makes creepers so scary. By the time you realize he's there (sneaky creeper), he blows you apart with little warning. That is what strikes fear into every minecraft players heart. This will just add to the fear and mayhem. So let the games begin when they arrive!

Dude, Minecraft is becoming even more nightmare fuelish
Hell. I'm a grown man and I will admit that gave me goose-bumps!
I hope these things are not "triggered" through glass!
*EDIT* Not sure how "official" its is as it shows "Minecraft Beta 1.8" in the corner. Version numbering was removed while in game in the last patch or two. It's scary none the less.
I already use SPC Mod to make it daytime but this just makes me put the loop thing on so the sun never moves XD. But thats creepy cuz right when you arent suspecting it andd you look away BLAM your hit and your like HOLY **** and run the hell away but you dont succeed and then your like FUUUUUUUUUUU and rage quit minecraft. LAWL thats probably best-case scenario also XD
if it is triggered through glass then i'm just making a house with no windows and no door and closing my self in and crouching in the corner........
Fake, but now that I've heard them Notch HAS to make that whispering the official sound they make. Fits perfectly.
*Deconstruct your stuff?
*Add to your construction?
*Throw blocks through your windows & climb into your house?
*Be capable of spawning in your house?
*Throw blocks at you?
*Build traps for you to fall into?
*Build blocks around you?
*Essentially be griefer mobs?
*Hang out & attack in groups?
"I'm in your fortress, destroyin' your blocks."
