Minecraft Story Mode:Wither Storm

The witherstorm or wither storm is an enormous wither-like mob that served as the main antagonist for the first four episodes of Season 1 of Minecraft: Story Mode.

It was created by Ivor through the use of the command block, three wither skulls, and soul sand. It was destroyed by Jesse's Gang in the conclusion of the fourth episode, "A Block and a Hard Place." It was programmed to follow Gabriel the Warrior's amulet. However, due to some mishaps, it became out of control and unstoppable, destroying everything in the way of the amulet.

Appearance
When created, the Witherstorm appeared to be a regular Wither with a Command Block within its chest. Though as it began to pull in the surrounding blocks, it quickly transformed into a gigantic, black creature with long, powerful tentacles along with three heads. Each head has one purple, glowing eye and a large set of mandibles. When it picks up blocks to build its body, they turn into an ash-like block that is absorbed into it. The interior is similar with the exception of purple and gray variants of the blocks or mobs it has absorbed.

While the Witherstorm still held some of the similarities as a normal wither, it contained a few enderman-esque qualities as well. This is likely either due to the command block being used to erase the Ender Dragon out of existence or withering being similar to the corrupted-like state the End represents. Some examples being the tractor beam being able to pull blocks and objects towards itself which can be compared to the abilities of the Endermen picking up blocks. Both are able to manipulate a block's location without tools or breaking it. The Witherstorm's tractor beam and certain absorbed objects were also purple; the associated color of the End and corruption. It also has visual similarities to Heart of Ender, though it was created after Minecraft Storymode.

At the end of "The Last Place You Look", the Witherstorm was split into three separate entities. They all had only one head, but later in "A Block and a Hard Place" each of them grew two more heads. Two of them were quite smaller than the main larger one who also had the Command Block withim.

Abilities
The Witherstorm is a very powerful creature. It gained its extraordinary capabilities with the help of the Command Block. Its powers were:


 * Wither skulls: In its first form, the Witherstorm is able to shoot wither skulls the same way the ordinary Wither does.
 * Suction: In its first form, the Witherstorm is able to suck only objects while it didn't had its Tractor Beam.
 * Flaming Wither Skulls: The Witherstorm in its final form was able to shoot a stronger, flaming variation of the Wither Skulls that the Wither and itself used to shoot, their explosions are bigger and leave fire behind.
 * Tractor Beam: The Witherstorm was able to a create a Tractor Beam from each of it's head's eyes,
 * Wither Sickness: The Witherdtorm had an enhanced and more deadly variation of the Wither (effect) that the ordinary Wither has, The enhanced Wither effect was called Wither Sickness. It is believed that one of the ways of being infected is being too long in the creature's tractor beam.
 * Tentacles: The Witherstorm has several long tentacles that it uses to attack, capture preys and to destroy blocks around to help it get to its destinations. These tentacles were strong enough to destroy even Obsidian.
 * Durabilty: The Witherstorm had an absurd durability as it was able to survive the Formidi-Bomb even when it was exploded into pieces due to the Command Block withstanding it and getting the Witherstorm to wake up after a while.
 * Regeneration: All the Witherstorm's wounds could be easily Regenerated by absorbing objects and creatures.
 * Splitting: After the Witherstorm survived the Formidi-Bomb, it was able to make its three separated parts gain life on their own. The bigger main one was the one who had the Command Block within, after it was killed with the Command Block’s destruction, the other two parts also died.
 * Limbs' generation: The Witherstorm has the ability to grow tentacles and additional heads during its transformation while absorbing blocks and growing larger. In "A Block and a Hard Place" it is shown that the Witherstorm is able to grow them even inside its own body so it can protect the Command Block.
 * Order of the Stone's Amulet's Tracking: The Witherstorm is able to track the Order's Amulet as long it is not in the Nether or in the End.

Victims
The list below shows the victims the Wither Storm has killed:


 * Magnus the Rogue (Determinant).
 * Ellegaard the Redstone Engineer (Determinant).
 * Reuben (Indirectly).
 * Several Hostile Mobs.
 * Possibly a few Humans (indirectly).

Death
Killed By:
 * Jesse
 * Reuben (assisted)

The Witherstorm was powered by the Command Block, so to defeat it, Jesse used an enchanted weapon (with Command Block powers) to destroy the Command Block. Reuben helped by retrieving the enchanted weapon for Jesse and bringing it to them, though endangering himself in the process. This defeated the Witherstorm and assured it would never reanimate back to life.
