Notch reveals new mob for Minecraft 1.8

[Racecarlock]

These don't look too sca- why are my intestines over there now?

Before you freak out too much, think about being able to employ these things as workers, perhaps giving them blueprints and then they execute them. They might even talk. Oh yes, now that will be part of your nightmares too! Muahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Notch has forsaken the Twitter-ers, he hasn't released that image on twitter D':

Anyway, they look intimidating. I really hope they're not hostile...

 

[PinkiePyro]

I am so glad I have aready developed the habit of building free floating structures as my fortress so unless those buggers can climb ladders they wont beable to touch my shit
MAHAHAHA!!

(my fortess is a series of glass/sandstone only acessable by a singel sandstone piller)

 

[Nikolai Smirnov]

Great, as soon as I start to get used to playing on easy, this happens. Well, back to peaceful for me I guess.


Edit: Turns out the mob is called "Enderman". It is pretty obvious that Notch is referencing Slenderman.

 

[littlealicewhite]

If they are passive: Strange little critters that build random stuff
If they are hostile: Evil demon-beasts that tear down your walls and let the Creepers in

Either way, awesome addition.

Actually,I think that's just what the wiki calls it.Notch hasn't released the name yet.
Either way,I don't really see myself freaking out over these.They aren't really that scary.

 

[BlackEagle95]

That's kind of creepy. I can someine playing late at night a spotting one in the distance. Oh the freak outs this will cause!!!

 

[RagTagBand]

Well, I guess i'm never playing Minecraft again.

 

[ramboondiea]

hostile or passive, i dont care, im still going to kill it wit fire

 

[Fishehh]

Creepers are now less creepy
BUT! The game will now scare the shit outa me again when I go leave for a few hours , come back and see these bastards built a HUGE creeper face in front of my house

 

[EightGaugeHippo]

My guess is that he will break a block and carry it around...
Each Ender will only carry one block and when you kill him (if you have the stones for it) he drops it...

Also, will probably be limited to Blocks easily broken by hand... like sand, grass, gravel and to some degree wood.


[Edit]

Forgot to mention I nearly shat myself when I saw slendy...
XD

As steve was running to his home on a rainy night, skeletons shootin at him.(why did he make that wrong turn?) Racing inside his home he slames the door behind him, with a zombie nailed to his door. Then looking though the eye hole he sees ninjas. Jumping out of the trees with inhuman grace, they land and start to break open his house. As he loads his last arrow steve thinks to himself, 'why did i have to laugh at that unemployed ninja for hire?'

Not sure if anyone have posted this yet but I turned up the contrast a bit so you can easier see

Enderman[footnote]None of following information is confirmed[/footnote]:Supposedly a passive mob that won't attack you and can´t die. When you look at it, it will just stop what it´s doing and look back at you, otherwise it will dig and move around blocks(T1 blocks).

 

[SwiggleDyl]

It looks like the type of mob which wouldn't attack me directly, but wait until I though I was safe in my house then remove some parts of the walls to allow other mobs to get in... *shivers*... Even if it isn't hostile it's going to creep me the fuck out, excellent work

 

[Jun_Jun]

congrats Notch you have just made minecraft terrifying for me
I would freak out before exploring giant underground caverns but now.... I'm going to have 6 lava moats around a fortress made of obsidian QQ and I will never leave it.

and that's if the enderman is passive....

 

[Foxbat Flyer]

Awesome, will be good to come accross another monster (Especially after playing terraria)

from notch's twitter-
Post 1) The Endermen are peaceful. If you look straight at them, they freeze and look at you. When you look away again, they run fast. And teleport.
Post 2) They run TOWARDS you, not away. So if you happen to look at one, do not look away
Post 3) (they stop being peaceful if you look straight at them)

Oh god, it's even creepier than i thought

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

Actually, it's pretty much this [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-173]. Don't turn your back.

Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you could believe, don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink.

Yeah, I saw this.

Essentially, they're the Weeping Angels from Doctor Who.

Or this. The very first SCP.
