Mods/Mutant Creatures

Mutant Creatures is a mod that adds a number of fully animated mini-bosses that are essentially extreme and improved versions of the original Minecraft mobs. It also adds custom drops for the new mobs and a new splash potion that can turn certain mobs into Mutants.

Mutant Mobs
There are 5 Mutants in total, each with different abilities, physical traits, and attack tactics.

Mutant Creeper
The Mutant Creeper has 5 different moves and however in the most recent updates the health increased to 120 hearts of health. It's most common and weakest attack is to simply charge toward the player and slam his head into you. Another much stronger attack is when he jumps around 15 blocks into the air, making an explosion and injuring other things around it. The Mutant Creeper's next attack is not a direct hit; he summons some tiny Creepers. Like normal Creepers, they explode when near the player, but explosions heal Mutant Creepers. The Mutant Creeper's most uncommon move is to strike himself with lightning, making him a Charged Mutant Creeper. This is bad...... The Mutant Creeper's last move will make him turn white, and he will not move for around 3 seconds. Once he finishes, he will regain 10 hearts of health. The Mutant Creeper has one last move. When he dies, he sucks all mobs and entities towards him and then explodes, dealing about 40 hearts of damage to things right near him, but Charged Mutant Creepers do much more.

Drops


If you kill it, it will drop an egg. The egg will hatch and turn into a Mutant Creeper Minion. If you destroy the egg before it gets to hatch, it will either drop 5-10 Gunpowder, or occasionally it will drop a Creeper Shard. Creeper Shards deal 1 1/2 hearts of damage when used to attack, but also can make explosions when right-clicked.

Mutant Zombie
The Mutant Zombie is big and its height is 3 meters tall (3 blocks tall) The Mutant Zombie has 75 hearts of health and three attacks 1.Melee it will throw you to the air and hit you back to the ground 2.Ranged it will hit the ground and shards of blocks will appear and some blocks will turn into other blocks like stone-cobblestone, grass-dirt 3.Special it will destroy blocks near it and when it stops all the blocks that's been destroyed will change into zombies. One last thing Mutant Zombies do is at night, it will regenerate 1 heart every once in a while, so fighting this Mutant is easier in the daytime. When it dies it will come back up with 20 hearts left, that’s Why you have to burn it, if you don't you must defeat it 3-4 times at the 3 time of its defeat it will disappear sometimes but it is still alive it’s a bug.

Drops


When the Mutant Zombie really dies it will drop the Hulk Hammer. The Hulk Hammer can be used to do 1 1/2 hearts of damage, or right-clicked to use a move identical to the Mutant Zombie's ranged attack.

Mutant Snow Golem
The only way to obtain a Mutant Snow Golem in Survival Mode is to craft a bottle of Chemical X, and splash it onto a normal Snow Golem. The Mutant Snow Golem has 40 hearts of health, and will throw tumbling blocks of ice at hostile mobs.

Drops
Snowballs and a Jack O' Lantern

Mutant Enderman
The Mutant Enderman is probably the most dangerous Mutant in this mod. With a height of 4-5 blocks and hearts of health, this four-armed fiend is not your average teleporting block-snatching monster. It strikes fear in its enemies with its piercing purple eyes, its imposing figure, and its ability to wreak havoc in your world.

Attacks
There are 7 tactics the Mutant Enderman can use to end your life.

Forced Look
Like your average Enderman, the Mutant Enderman is seemingly harmless, neutral mob that will usually not attack you... until you look at it. Once you stare at it, it will stare right back at you, grow its 2 other arms, and wait for you to make a move. Once you look away from it, it will pull you in closer to it, give you the Blindness effect, and start its attack. It will also start to attack you if it sees you wearing a pumpkin, or when it’s angry.

Teleportation
This tactic just sounds like a way for the Mutant Enderman to evade your attacks, but not all is as it seems... When the Mutant uses its ability to teleport, it emits its "ender-soul", which will knockback, deal hearts of damage, and possibly give the Blindness potion effect to all mobs (including the player) that is near the Enderman.

Melee Attack
So, say you just angered the Mutant Enderman. What happens next? The first attack it will probably use against you would be its melee attack. With that attack, it just simply whacks your with one of its arms. Don't think that is something to worry about? Well, if it hits you with one of its inner arms, the attack will deal hearts of damage; its outer arms will deal  hearts. Even such a simple attack could kill the unarmored player in a couple hits.

Throwing Blocks
You have probably witnessed a normal Enderman grab a block of dirt, teleport around for a while, and set it back down somewhere else. But with the Mutant Enderman, it takes that ability to the next level. In your battle with the Mutant, it can grab a block (for a maximum of one in each hand) and fling it at you. That attack will deal - hearts for a direct hit and hearts of splash damage. Tip: The blocks thrown at you do not follow you. They only go to where you were the moment the block was thrown. You can easily move away from the area you once were to avoid it.

Clone Tactic
Think your battle with the Mutant Enderman can't get any harder? Then you won't like this next tactic used by the Mutant. It will create 8 Ender-soul minions, which look like translucent versions of a regular Enderman, and make them try to attack you. The clones can be killed with a few hits, so they aren't much of a threat to your health. Also, the Mutant Enderman will disguise itself to be exactly like them, except for being slightly taller than the rest. The clones can teleport like a regular Enderman and deal per hit. But, the Mutant Enderman will disguise itself to be exactly like them, except for being slightly taller than the rest. The disguised Mutant Enderman will deal hearts of health per hit. You must hit the Mutant Enderman to destroy the clones and change the Mutant Enderman back to his original form. Tip: If you have the thorns enchantment on any of your armor, it will hurt the Mutant Enderman and its clones when they hit you. And if the Mutant Enderman hits you while you have Thorns enchanted armor, the monster will go back to his original form. This makes it an easy way for you to deal with this tactic.

Tele-smash
Do you hate the Mutant Enderman's ability to teleport? Well, you are absolutely going to hate this next attack. The Mutant Enderman has the ability to teleport you, which is accomplished by him grabbing you with all 4 arms, then teleporting you into the air. That attack will deal hearts of damage plus any fall damage you might receive. Also, you will be infected with the Nausea Potion effect, which will make your screen look like you are going through a Nether Portal, just without the purple coloration.

Scream
And to put the icing on the cake, the Mutant Enderman can scream, which it usually does when it's raining. It may not sound threatening, but his is a deathly scream that can possibly kill you in seconds. The scream will do hearts of armor-piercing damage, and sometimes give you potion effects such as poison, weakness, hunger, and nausea.

Death
If you manage to slay this beast, you should be proud of yourself. But, you're not in the clear yet. When a Mutant Enderman dies, it hovers above the ground, and lets out a final scream, and starts to de-pixelate, which looks a lot like an Enderdragon's death, minus the purple rays coming from its body. But, its ender-soul will also become unstable and starts to deteriorate. The Mutant's ender-soul will then shoot out endersoul fragments that will explode within a few seconds of shooting out. It will knock you around and deal damage to you and any other mob nearby, and it is almost impossible to escape. But, you can prevent most of the damage and the impact of the exploding fragments by putting a pumpkin on your head. After a few seconds, it will be over, and victory will finally be yours!

Drops
When the Mutant completely de-pixelates, it will drop up to 8 Enderpearls, and up to 8 Eyes of Ender. But that is not all. When the beast is dying, you can preserve some of its Endersoul Fragments by holding the sneak button, then right clicking as many Endersoul Fragments as you can before they explode. Any Fragments you right-click will fall to the ground and remain there after the Enderman's death. Then, you can right click them again a couple times, and then they will follow you wherever you go. Once all of them are following you, you must then drop an Eye of Ender. That means you click the drop button (the q button by default), not throw the Eye of Ender into the air. Once you do that, all of the Endersoul Fragments will combine into an Endersoul Hand and drop on the ground as an item, which uses up the eye of ender. The amount of uses an Endersoul Hand has depends on how many endersoul fragments you used to make it; each fragment will give 60 uses, with 4 fragments giving you the maximum 240 uses. With this endersoul hand, you can do three different things. 1: You can grab blocks like a Mutant Enderman and throw them at mobs to do damage. 2: You can just hit mobs with it, which will deal of damage per hit. 3: And, if you hold the sneak button (the left shift button by default) and right click a block, it will teleport you to that block that you right-clicked. That ability has a range of 128 blocks, will give you no damage from teleporting, and will damage nearby mobs, just like when a Mutant Enderman teleports. But, it will take up 4 uses per teleport, so it might be best to use it sparingly.

Mutant Skeleton
The Mutant Skeleton is a dangerous creature to encounter at night. Standing at around 3-4 blocks tall, this beast is armed with a crossbow, instead of the bow a regular Skeleton uses. He also features a gigantic ribcage, a serious case of under bite, and powerful, bone-chilling attacks. It has been known to snipe players away from a distance farther than any other Mutant can sense you. And like a Mutant Zombie, it can heal of its  hearts every 5 seconds at nighttime, making this monster a harder enemy to deal with at night.

Attacks
This mutant features four dreaded attacks.

Ranged Attack
One of the Mutant Skeleton's most common and feared attacks is its ranged attack. It will aim it's crossbow at you, pull back, and fire an arrow straight at you. This is no common arrow, though, because it can go through any blocks or entities to hit you. It can also inflict a random negative effect on you, such as poison, exhaustion, and slowness. But if you manage to hit the Mutant before it fires at you, you might be able to break its focus.

Melee Attack
If you get too close to the Mutant Skeleton, then you will be in for quite the surprise. The Mutant will use his melee attack, which is just simply whacking you with his crossbow. While it doesn't give you much damage, the attack will push you quite far away from it, giving it the chance to use its ranged attack again.

Multi-shot Attack
This is an attack you will almost never be able to avoid. When the Mutant Skeleton does the multi-shot attack, he jumps high in the air, while simultaneously firing 6 arrows at the same time at you. Fortunately these arrows don't deal random negative potion effects like on the ranged attack...

Constrict
When you look at a Mutant Skeleton, you might wonder why he has such a huge ribcage. Let's hope you don't have to figure it out first-hand... The Mutant Skeleton's is able to use its ribcage to constrict the life out of you; then you will be tossed high into the air. This might be the Mutant's most damaging attack, dealing attack and fall damage.

Death
When you kill this beast, its bones will be flung apart, which can hurt you if one hits you. If you are still alive after that is over, congratulations! Victory is yours!

Drops
When killed the mutant skeleton will explode, and his bones will fly everywhere. You can click on these bones to collect them. you will then use them to craft the mutant skeleton armor. There will be exactly enough bones to craft the armor. The armor is very good for archers. The chest plate makes it so that you pull a bow back 4 times faster. The head makes it so when you jump shot enemies with a bow it does double critical damage. However when you don't jump shot your shot does half damage. the leggings provide a permanent speed 2 boost as long as your wearing them. the boots provide a jump boost when your wearing them but activate jump 2 while your sprinting. The boots also have infinite durability.

Chemical X
Chemical X can be thrown onto a mob to transform it into its Mutant form, if it has one. There is a 50% chance that it will turn into a Mutant and 50% chance it will just kill the mob.

To craft, put Obsidian in a four pronged star shape, leaving a hole in the middle for a Water Bottle.
