monster ideas :D

Just to note:

The currently empty and uninhabited world is like a thorn in our side. For this reason, we will be integrating various animals and monsters into the game. All preparations have been made – it won’t be long now.

You may like this idea of mine, others didn't though^^ Animals

It's great to hear player ideas about this alpha game. This is, after all, a sandbox game and monster options make it possible for more diverse worlds to be created. It is my hope that an easy to use interface will be implemented in the yet to be released creative mode so that everybody will be able to easily make the world they want to create. It is clear that the developers do read this forum and are listening to us, so add to the monster list and you never know what might show up in the next update. It might be fun to add monsters that will attack players within an appropriate biome. Here are a few examples:

6. wolverines & cougars (mountain lions) - forest biome
7. jaguars - jungle biome
8. lions - savannah biome
9. polar bears & trolls - tundra

Can this do polls? Maybe we should poll to show the devs what the community is interested in or have some sort of design competition for fantasy mobs.

I'd like;

10. Bronze steam golems/automatons - Ancient Underground Dungeon mob, could be a source of rare metals to encourage questing/roaming
11. Raccoons - Forest mob, as suggested by another player it enters houses and griefs chests if not fitted with a lock.
12. Werewolf Villagers/Npc's - Village mob hostile during a random bloodmoon event, discourages players from building over and hoarding villages.
13. Foxes - Plains mob, investigates fences and new constructions, killing herd animals and harming the player if they try to prevent it.

What do you guys think of each biome being it's own ecosystem as a way to populate it? Based on what makes sense of course. Some animals might be found in multiple biomes, but you wouldn't find a scorpion in the arctic right? For animals, I'm staying with realistic in regards to types of species. Fantasy comes with the monsters. Just my take on it...

This is just some brainstorming. I don't pretend this is written in stone or it's the best idea ever. It certainly isn't a complete list. But it would be great IMHO. No, I don't expect this to be in the next update. Personally, I would prefer to see this kind of diversity instead of say, perfect models and animations for just a few animals. There's a reason mods like Mo
Creatures for MC are so popular.

This is one of my favourite parts of being involved in gaming; ideas for games in alpha etc.. if you haven't noticed already. Please give your opinions! So forgive me if I throw a lot of ideas out there. I won't cry.. much.. if you don't like them hehe

Multiple monsters could be found in one biome, I just came up with one each because well.. I gotta be done with this! lol
