Minecraft Dungeons:Clam Launcher

The Clam Launcher is an upcoming non-alive mob in Minecraft Dungeons that will be available with the release of the Hidden Depths DLC. It’s central role in the Twitter video seems to be to bounce the player to high places that can’t be reached with a normal jump. The player walks on top of it, it shakes and then it’s mouth bursts open, flinging the player to a piece of land that is out of their reach. It has the same function as the Piston Launchers seen in the Obsidian Pinnacle, Frosted Fjord, Lost Settlement and the Gale Sanctum.

Trivia

 * Clam Launchers are seen centrally near the end of the most recent video and are even named in the developer post with the video.
