Silverfish



Silverfish are a planned mob, as of now only a skin file can be found in the minecraft.jar file, but a 3D recreation has been made by a forum user called 'sunflower' Silverfish could be used as an eating mob. This would mean the silverfish could destroy Wood, Bookshelf, and Wooden planks.

History
The image, silverfish.png, was added to the /mobs/ folder in minecraft.jar in the Beta 1.7 update.
