Minecraft Dungeons:Illusioner

The Illusioner, also known as the Illusionist, is an Illager mini-boss mob found in the Creeping Winter DLC for Minecraft Dungeons. When spawned, a music soundtrack plays. The music soundtrack is also the exact same as the Evoker.

Appearance
The Illusioner is an illager that looks very different from the illusioner from the base game. Instead of a blue cloak, it wears a dark purple cloak and hood with dark outlines on the edges. It also has pink eyes, which makes its eyes comparatively brighter than that of the other Illagers. Under its cloak is leather clothing, and it wears a belt with an iron buckle and a leather bag behind it. It also wears dark boots.

Spawning
The Illusioner will appear as the main boss in the Lost Settlement. Afterwards, it'll appear as a mini-boss and boss in the Frosted Fjord and as a mini-boss in the Lone Fortress.

Behavior
The Illusioner has 4 different attacks.

Note: The attack names are conjectural; an official name has not been established.


 * Cast Blindess

The Illusioner casts 7 seconds blindness onto the player. While blinded, the player's attacks will sometimes miss and they will emit a black mist over their head. Used occasionally.


 * Teleport and Create Duplicates (Mirror)

The Illusioner creates several duplicates of itself in a similar fashion to that of the Nameless One. Unlike their base game counterparts, these duplicates can be killed separately. If no player is nearby when this ability is used, the Illusioner and it's duplicates will not appear until a player gets close. When the real Illusioner is attacked or a certain amount of time passed, all the duplicates disappear and new ones appear shortly after. Used frequently.


 * Arrows

The Illusioner along with all of it's duplicates will constantly fire arrows at the player.


 * Explosive Arrow

The real Illusioner sometimes, instead of shooting a regular arrow, fires a more powerful pink explosive one that is similar to the Fireworks Arrow. Used rarely.

Trivia

 * It is the third mob in the game that appears as both a mini-boss and a boss in the same level. The first one being the Evoker and the second one being the Redstone Golem.
 * The Illusioner and its duplicates sometimes have different sounds. The real illusioner's death sounds are also warped unlike the original.
 * When the illusioner is dying, the music stops and plays a ghost screaming with death sounds, which resembles the Evoker's death scream but slightly different.
 * Illusioners are one of the only illagers that weren't part of the Arch-Illager's army along with Iceologers.
 * The Illusioner sits unused in the files of Minecraft: Java Edition, but planned to be added.
