Minecraft Dungeons:Wildfire

The Hovering Inferno is an unused mob that was planned for the Flames of the Nether DLC. While this mob was cut for unknown reasons, there is a statue of it in the Nether Fortress. The only proof of its existence are its texture files, model, and images and footage of it being hacked into the player's camp.

Appearance
The Hovering Inferno is a large mob, very similar in appearance to a blaze albeit bigger and somewhat tougher. It possesses four large shields which float around it, that act as protection, and a fifth one 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.

Spawning
The Hovering Inferno, while unused, is working smoothly and can be spawned in via modding or cheats.

Behavior
The only current known behavior from when it is spawned with cheats is that it shoots fireballs at the player.

Trivia

 * The Hovering Inferno was one of the available mobs players could vote for during MINECON Earth 2017 to be in the main game, with the temporary name "Mob D". The eventual winner of the vote was "Mob B", which would become the Phantom.
 * It appears to have a Netherite Helmet from the main game, although it was first shown over 3 years before netherite was first implemented into the game.
 * The shield part of the model is a separate model from the Inferno and when spawned in-game with cheats, the game duplicates the shield models to be four.
 * It could have possibly been added as a mini-boss or boss mob for the Nether Fortress level but was scrapped, however this is unknown.
