ah catsnackz you beat me to it, i remember that episode of doctor who, its very creepy, the thing with these is that once you stop looking at it it will attack and not freeze again if you look at them again, and unfortunately even if they look at eachother they wont freeze, which would make it alot easier to fight a crowd of them, the thing we dont know is, can they attack when you have the reticule on them? what will this mean in pvp? if one person looks at them, and the other one attacks it while its frozen will it stay frozen? and if you look at it, keep the reticule on it, and walk up to it, cant you light it on fire and it will stay still and die without attacking?

in my idea its the very personified defintion of a dilemma, a hard decision you must make, as soon as you look straight at it it will stop and you must make a decision, and if you do not plan your escape or attack you will be destroyed. i hope notch makes it so a nonagressive version of them spawns on peaceful, as the idea of them moving blocks is quite cool, i can easily say these mobs will quickly make the creeper look like a joke, i do hope they have abnormally loud footsteps so you can tell when one is nearby.

and one last thing, am i crazy or is that one in the back holding a dirt block with the grass still on it?

im terrified what am i looking at and and by the looks of it they survive in the day time im never leaving my house

lol

So wait, if they only move AFTER you look away, doesnt that mean you can just look at it, and then pop its face full of arrows?

Im sure theyll attack after getting hit once, but still. They just sit there and stare. Thats basically a free shot.

if you want to claim a new species or alien you have to have blurry photographic evidence wich notch has

i think they can biuld they have sand in there hands?!?

guys....you do realise that if this hold blocks, it looks like it might be able to get through some barriers....it would be also very had to see at night!! :3

What we know: They can hold blocks, they are taller than the player (~3-5 high)
we suppose: they can break/place blocks. they could be the new villagers. they are squids coming out of the water in the night.
we don't know: are they passive/neutral/agressive? wich type of blocks are they able to break/place blocks? appear they
in the night or in the day too? in wich biome are they living?

NOTCH. What the hell did you?!

Notch has said: They are Passive until looked at. Honestly you people can't make these "what we know/ what we don't know things If you don't even read what we're GIVEN! (It was on his blog.)

these things make creepers hide in little corners wimpering...this is the first time i feel sorry for creepers

yes never leave ur house with thoughs!

i get the feeling these things will be able to stay alive in sunlight like creepers. Lets hope that isn't a bad thing.

These are the top of the food chain in Minecraft, with creepers being their primary prey.

"Farlanders" seems about right for these guys though. Think about it, they are odd creatures not of this land, such as Farlands is not of this "world" we call Minecraft. You think that a backstory could be that they came from the Farlands? I mean, considering how long it takes for you to get to farlands, it would make sense you only now start to see them appearing.

What the crap?! I want Dragons not squid men thingys D:<

Oh no! They are taking away the sand! OH NO, WHY!!!

I say it's some sort of Demon monster. i'm scared now...

if you look directly at them, it will provoke them to chase you and throw stuff at you..oh so i heard

I wont be going out at night anymore.... :unsure.gif:
