Minecraft Dungeons:Snareling

A snareling is a hostile mob found in the Echoing Void DLC. It behaves similar to the spider.

Appearance
A snareling is a tall mob that resembles the normal enderman in body shape but instead of purple, it possesses light-yellow eyes with a glow effect that position a bit upwards on its face. On its chest is what appears to be a glowing open hole and on its back is a large cube-like core which is used to store and launch sticky goo at it’s target. It also possesses long sickle-like arms that it uses to slash at snared prey and are longer than its small legs.

Behavior
Snarelings behave like an End counterpart to spiders. While snarelings have the lowest health of the three enderlings, they can be considered the most dangerous since their attack does repeated damage.

Like other enderlings, they teleport away if the hero comes too close and does not have the slowness effect. Snarelings have three behaviors:
 * Teleport

A snareling can spit a giant splat of Snareling Goop at a hero. If they are hit by it, they are stuck in place for a few seconds, similarly to a cobweb, and also given a slowness effect.
 * Attack

If the hero is trapped in snareling goop, all nearby snarelings teleport there and start hitting the hero repeatedly with their arms.
 * Melee attack

Snareling Goop
The snareling goop is a projectile and the cobweb-like material snarelings spit out that leaves heroes temporarily slowed and trapped.
