Humanoid/Demon Mobs
The most darkest and dangerous mobs of the mod, players must take extreme precautions when dealing with them.


 * Wraith: Can fly and will attack the player on sight,drops gunpowder
 * Fire Wraith: Can also fly and will throw fireballs at the player,it can be seen from far away because of the flames that engulf his body,it drops redstone,it only spawns in hard dificulty
 * Wherewolf: At day, its a person that shouts, "help me!". At night, it transforms into a horrible beast. They can only be harmed with gold tools (imagine it´s silver). They have the ability to sprint while walking on four legs.
 * Ogres: Extrmely dangerous and will attack on sight. They destroy blocks by smashing them with their big hands. There are 3 types of ogres.

Ogres
These are the only mobs that can destroy blocks in the mod. They stomp and smash with fury and with a level of strength that varies according to each type of ogre. The ogres are twice the size of the player and are very deangerous.


 * Ogre: Most common ogre. It drops Obsidian.
 * Fire Ogre: Have a bigger area of effect and sets the ground on fire when it stomps. Only spawns on hard dificulty and drops Torches or Fire.
 * Cave Ogre: Only spawn underground and have the biggest area of effect. They drop Diamonds.  (Do they spawn on hard difficulty only?)

Saddles
This is a different saddle from the Saddle that is found inside of dungeons.

Taming
All tamed animals will not despawn.

Sharks
Taming sharks is easier than taming horses. In order to tame a shark, you will need to start with a baby shark from an egg. Sharks have a 10% of dropping an egg when killed. To hatch the egg, you need to throw it into the water which will generate a friendly-baby shark. After it grows big enough, it will be able to attack other mobs (like squids).tamed Sharks will not attack other sharks or the player.

Birds
You can tame birds by giving them seeds (throwing them), once tamed they will not run away from you and will not despawn, even though you can´t do anything with them.

If too many birds are tamed, then it could cause problems with the mod. (Someone please confirm this?)

Horses
These are rather hard animals to tame. You will need to feed them food (wheat, bread, sugar or apples) to tame them. You have to give them the necessary amount of food to tame them, or you'll spend more time,you have to put a saddle on them,and you can either feed them,or get on them,if the horse is not yet tamed it will kick you up and you will get a minimal fall damage,if its tamed,you will be able to control them as you wish.

You will have to get on them repetadly to tame them, but as stated earlier, feeding them makes it easier. If you feed them the correct amount of times, it will reduce the times you have to get on them greatly. Many say that feeding the animal after every time it bucks you off is the most efficient way. To feed: take a food item and right click the horse.

(todo: Add information about riding horses.  Maybe something about a corral, and where to keep your horse while you are exploring a cave)

Horse Types and Feeding
There are 8 horse types. Every single one has a different feeding need to be tamed most efficiently. Also, every horse has a different speed. The rarer the horse, the fastest it is. Heres a table with the horses and the feeding needs:

There are three more types of horse,but these can only be breed.

Breeding
(There is no graphic depictions of Horse Breeding)

To breed horses you will require:
 * 2 pumkins/mushroom soup
 * 2 horses
 * a place where they are 8 squares minimum away from you,or other horses
 * 1/2 minecraft day

To breed a horse, you need to give each one of the horses a pumpkin or mushroom soup. Each horse has a chance to be "sterile". When sterile, these horses cannot breed. Horses have a 1/8 probability to become sterile. To check if a horse is sterile or not, feed them pumpkin or mushroom soup. If they eat it (a crunching sound) they are not sterile.

After 1/2 of a day, there should be a third horse. It is advised that you give them another pumpkin or soup to ensure they are not sterile.

Genetic value:every horse has a genetic value that will afect the final result (the horse type that will be generated) here´s a table with the genetic value of every horse and it´s results probability:
 * light horses = 1
 * brown horses = 2
 * dark horses = 3
 * unicorns = 4
 * pegasus = 5
 * pack horse = 6
 * black pegasus = 8
 * nightmare = 7

Depending on the sum of both parents' genetic value you have a CHANCE of getting a rare breed:
 * sum equal 7 = chance of getting a packhorse
 * sum equals 9 = chance of getting a nightmare
 * sum equals 10 = chance of getting a pegasus
 * sum equals 12 = chance of getting a black pegasus
 * very important:two packhorses won't give birth to a black pegasus
 * Very important:if the sum is none of the above, you will get a random horse with genetic value 1-5

Rare Breeds
As explained before, some horses can only be obtained with breeding.


 * Packhorse : you can add a chest to this horse and by using a shovel (imagine it as a key) you can open the inventory and store things inside
 * Nightmare : these horses can activate their superpower by feeding them redstone,this will make them lit fire wherever they step,these horses are increasingly stubborn,so you will have to tame them as normal,and feed them every time they throw you.
 * Black Pegasus : this is the best of horses,not only it is the fastest of all,but it also can fly and has an inventory.

Instalation problems
this mod is suposed to come with a GUI API,but it doesn´t,s you will need to download and install it separatly,or at least until the mod gets updated,also,as a very fast reminder,you will have to delete the META-INF folder for ANY mod to be installed
