Future mob probably, the game needs more mobs.

And for the guy who is going reply to me "yea but remember Mo' Mobs, more mobs will ruin minecraft"

The Mod Mo' Mobs made way to many mobs spawn on the map, I am not asking for more mobs per square inch, im talking about variety.

Oh god, I pray they never make those a part of the game. I have a giant mansion made entirely of wooden planks that took many many hours to build and if it got feasted on by those things I would be oh so very pissed. Also, they just look creepy.
