Minecraft Dungeons:Mountaineer

The Mountaineer is an illager and hostile mob with a mountaineer pick found in the Minecraft Dungeons DLC Howling Peaks.

Appearance
Mountaineers are illagers who live in mountainous areas. They wear a brown hood with white face covering, brown-and-white colored sleeves and pants, brown boots and gloves, and a blue belt or sash around its chest. They use a mountaineer pick as a weapon. They have blue eyes like the vindicators and like them, they also have armored variants.

Spawning


In the End Wilds and the Broken Citadel missions, mountaineers's camp can be found. Some mountaineers and mountaineer variants are found in some cages.

Behavior
Mountaineers behave like normal vindicators but are much stronger along with their armored variants, running up to the hero and attacking them via melee, with their picks. When in contact with wind, they place their pick into the ground to not be blown away.

Axe Mountaineer (Unofficial name)
In a beta art design of a Squall Golem and a Mountaineer crossing a bridge, the Mountaineer can be seen holding an axe-like weapon instead of the usual Mountaineer Pick. It is likely it was scrapped or forgotten about.

Trivia

 * In the artwork for Howling Peaks, mountaineers can be seen climbing the peaks while using axes, instead of mountaineer picks.
