Minecraft Dungeons:Wildfire

"Explore the Tower by night, full of new, fresh floors that include everything from mysterious murals and perplexing puzzles to the wildfire – a fiery foe that may prove too hot to handle for even the most seasoned adventurers! Tread lightly, as it prefers its opponents well done!"

- Reveal in the Luminous Night Announcement

The wildfire is a powerful hostile mob appearing in the luminous night seasonal adventure released on April 20, 2022. It was originally planned for the Flames of the Nether DLC, but was cut due to time constraints. However, there was a statue of it in the, an unused model, and texture files before Luminous Night was revealed.

Appearance
A wildfire is a large mob, similar in appearance to a albeit bigger and somewhat tougher. It possesses four large shields which float around it, which act as protection, and a fifth one shaped as a pillar under its head. Its head is that of a normal blaze with the exception of it wearing a helmet, fitted with a small red gem.

Behavior
The wildfire acts as shielded enemy like the royal guard, the skeleton vanguard, and the tower guard, where the enemy's shield must be destroyed first. Unlike most shielded enemies, the wildfire has four shields, all of which must be destroyed before inflicting damage. When low on health, the wildfire will retreat to seek out a fire source to heal itself like blazes, but can also regenerate damaged and destroyed shields.

Unlike blazes, the wildfire will occasionally shoot a barrage of firesticks instead of fireballs at a hero. If a hero gets to close, the wildfire will slam the ground, sending out a small shockwave, knocking back both heroes and mobs. The wildfire will summon blazes to assist it.
