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!


Maybe they're good guys, even though creepy looking, and they build new areas for you to explore? They aren't taking blocks but placing them, giving you more chance to gather resources even after you've cleared an area of anything useful. Probaby not, but it's fun to think. I mean, squid are pretty creepy looking if you get a good look at their mouths, and they're completely harmless.
Real life-ish? last time I checked zombies creepers walking skeletons slimes and the like aren't very common in real life, I think these guys would fit in perfectly.
Or they'll find some traps at night…
Lol
