Minecraft Dungeons:Redstone Monstrosity

The Redstone Monstrosity is the boss variant of the Redstone Golem. It appears in the Fiery Forge as the final boss, created by overloading all of the Redstone Cores; possibly the overload sends a power surge that ended up giving it more power.

Appearance
The Redstone Monstrosity appears to be a hulking, mechanical entity made of stone and redstone patches. It appears to have multiple cracks within the body and red outlines within its torso. It has three glowing yellow eyes with the third one on its forehead and a red jaw. It also possesses two large horns on its head. The Mooshroom Monstrosity is a variant of this entity. It also has flat footed legs to hold its massive body. The same goes for the Redstone Golem but are slightly larger in ratio of its total size and 20% of its body for each leg while its massive arms are 60% of its body for each arm.

Behavior
The Redstone Monstrosity has three attacks. While not attacking, it slowly walks towards the player. It is the 2nd slowest mob in the game, after the Jungle Abomination.

The Redstone Monstrosity smashes both of its fists on the ground, creating a large 4-block shockwave that deals knockback and damage (48 to 144 damage on Default) to any entities in its radius. This attack is the one used most often when a player gets in range.
 * Smash attack (basic attack)

The Redstone Monstrosity touches the ground with both fists as the redstone on its body glows. 12 fissures spawn around the boss, each spawning a Redstone Cube that attacks the player. Used every 20 seconds.
 * Summon Redstone Cubes

The Redstone Monstrosity leans back and spits out 8 small fireballs from its mouth. When a fireball touches the ground, it explodes in a small radius (14 to 42 damage per fireball on Default). Used mostly when there are no players close to the Monstrosity. This attack is more powerful then it's melee attack (30%x8=240% range total damage vs 100% melee damage), so it's better to fight the boss in melee range.
 * Fireballs

Health
The amount of health depends on the difficulty; on Default Mode it has 3,000 to 11,000 hp, on Adventure Mode it has 18,000 to 60,000 hp, and on Apocalypse Mode, it has 100,000 to 320,000 hp.

The minimum difficulty of the Fiery Forge is 3 (III).

Relations
In the opening cinematic, as well as the Minecraft Dungeons banner, along with all the illagers who notably have switched weapons partially, another creature known as the Redstone Golem can be seen. It is a bit more stone-like, however, and bears no horns or mouth, two somewhat larger, slime-like eyes, more cracks, and is only about 66% the size (3.6 blocks). It also appears to be thinner and weaker. There is also the form of what appears to be a half-built upgraded Monstrosity in the Obsidian Pinnacle level, called in the files the Obsidian Monstrosity.

Trivia

 * In the official artwork for Dungeons, the Arch-Illager is sitting on its shoulder. However, the Arch-Illager is not part of the boss fight, nor is the monstrosity a part of the Arch-Illager fight.
 * On online, the Boss's HP increases by 33.33% (as well as increases damage by 16.66%) when another player plays someone's game. This means that the boss's HP increases from 100% to 200% (and damage from 100% to 150%) when there are 4 players in multiplayer.
 * This is also applied to some other mobs.
 * Take note that its health pool is 2.4 times larger than the Redstone Golem's health pool so it's better to overload the redstone cores to deal 16% to 10% of the boss's health pool.
 * Despite having 2.4 times more HP than the Redstone Golem, it's volume is almost 4 times larger than the Redstone Golem. This might be because it's density is lighter than the Redstone Golem (but that does not mean it's weight is lighter because it's weight is still heavier than the Redstone Golem, about 2.5 times heavier) and also the fact it's still made out of Stone and Redstone. It's unknown if the illagers know to increase the size of the stone without increasing the mass of the stone.
 * In Minecraft Livestream, the redstone on the monstrosity's back doesn't seem to be glowing at all while the one in the game is glowing bright orange, red, or almost pure white.
