Note: Render of Minecraft Dungeons Arcade version
The Obsidian Monstrosity is the name given to a statue found in the Obsidian Pinnacle.
Note: the part of the level containing the statue does not always generate.
It can be found under construction in one of the variants of the part of the level that generates the second main Redstone Golem fight. The Obsidian Monstrosity is its name in the game files, as it is not referenced in the base game. It seems to be a variant of the Redstone Monstrosity, but is larger. In Minecraft Dungeons Arcade however, it is now a living entity and an exclusive boss there.
Appearance
The Obsidian Monstrosity is a colossal, largely unfinished mechanical golem found in the Obsidian Pinnacle. Unlike the Redstone Monstrosity, it is significantly larger and is possibly powered by blocks similar to crying obsidian, found around its body. Its body also possesses more cracks unlike its redstone counterpart, and bears golden outlines and intricate square designs and layouts on its feet and its front body, it also possesses four eyes and three fingers resembling the block its being powered with. Noticeably, it lacks a right arm, possibly still being made. In the Minecraft Dungeons Arcade game, its shown that it now has a right arm and all parts that have a crying obsidian-like appearance, including its four eyes, now glow similarly to a nether portal.
