A new image of the new creature - commonly referred to as "Endermen" - was released recently (enhanced here, for light levels). This image is much more up-close-and-personal than the first, giving us a good look at the new creatures. It would seem that wearing a pumpkin prevents the new mob from seeing you, although this is unconfirmed at present.
Additionally, Notch mentioned a possible name-change for the newly minted mob, "Farlander" being suggested and, apparently, already in heavy use.
I do believe that the Endermen will be able to pick blocks up and move them. That is just what I have heard from friends, anyway. It would be cool if that was what they do. Better start making double walls...
if you want to know how they act you can check the wiki which states they are peaceful until you look at them and will teleport to you about once a second if far away, probably will be fun to fight these, but now it makes it even more boring waiting for the 1.8 update
What do they drop anyways, upon death?
Farlanders sounds like they're from the far lands.
Anyone else agree with this? Please tell me someone else thinks this is a decent idea.
It makes tons of sense its tall and creepy just like slender men its harmless until looked at just like slendermen.
Thats just my point.
