Possibly the scary mob?
Not to sure, but i think this fits well enough to be absolutely horrifying. So, possibly the scary mob that was mentioned?
- Since silverfish don't seem to be scary in any way, I am completely certain that this is the scary mob. Did the silverfish even get any mention from Mojang? There's lots of hype over these weird creatures. Mybabypetghast 22:13, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
- I don't know. I look at them, and they seems sorta friendly.
- Regardless, we are a Wiki. we are not speculations united. Until told otherwise, this mob must be considered to not be the scary mob. --Kizzycocoa 22:19, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
The scary mob was finished by Jeb a long time ago, while this one is very recent and worked on by Notch. This isn't it. - DarkAuk 22:54, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
- And where is the reference for that, DarkAuk? On wikipedia it says that the Slenderman is a being which can distort your perception, make you vomit blood, eviscerate children, and cause nausia and paranoia. I think that is the definition of scary. --HexZyle 00:10, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
- The "scary monster" was said to be finished on June 10th[1], but it was not put into 1.7. The Endermen were started by Notch on July 24th[2] So, the time frame and author don't match up. This may be scary, but it's not the one. (Also, while I don't mind, most people would shoot you don't for using Wikipedia as a reference source.) - DarkAuk 00:57, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
- If the scary mob is finished, Then there would be some sort of reference to it being completed, let alone being in the games files right now. I say citation needed! - Mybabypetghast 00:43, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
- You know that they're keeping a good portion of 1.8 a secret, right? And so what if it wasn't put in 1.7? That update was just for pistons and shears. - DarkAuk 01:12, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
Yes, but they put the silverfish in 1.7 though. If this isn't the scary mob, tell me what you think the scary mob is then. Mybabypetghast 01:25, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
Could these things act like Herobrine?
Since these things appear to be sinister and intelligent enough to build, could they act like the Herobrine hoax that's been going around? It seems likely to me. Mybabypetghast 22:20, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
- Oh lord I hope they are smart enough to build, and that seems unlikely because most of the Herobrine lore just involves him watching you. Occasionally some of the stories have had him building things.. ~Cial
Yea the folklore I've heard is pretty much just about some weird guy watching you in the fog (I can't even find him in the original picture :/). A few random babblings potray him beckoning the protagonist into some sort of hole or small cave and then filling it with gravel in an attempt to suffocate them. Herobrine was the first mob (fake or not) to be able to build things (accounts of random pyramids and crap) instead of just destroying them. I'm excited to see something that can build in vanilla minecraft. Herobrine and Endermen just seem kinda similar (recently noticed the white eyes on Ender, another similarity) to me.

- Yea I noticed the white eyes bit too. Notch Mentioned if I recall correctly wanting to get something Herobrine-ish in game. Have you noticed how tall these things are? The one on behind the left most one holding sand is four blocks tall at the least.. ~Cial~
Fake?
I believe this will be a new mob, but some people out there think it could be a trick from notch. I'm just putting that here... --FWD Talk 22:39, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
If it is a fake, I'm gonna be fuming mad at Notch for cutting out worktime from 1.8 to work on a faked screenshot. 1.8 is supposed to be the LAST major update for Beta (i.e. not a patch/bug-fix), next comes the actual release of minecraft. This has to be one of the best updates yet. Given that, I doubt it would be a fake. Mybabypetghast 00:20, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
- "but some people out there think it could be a trick from notch" By some people you mean only you? Or are there really people who think notch would waste time faking with us? Jtlcr777 00:31, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
Exactly what I'm getting at. Mybabypetghast 00:40, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
- This isn't April 1st, and these are not Steve CO. supply crates...These are mobs... ~Cial~
