New Minecraft Monster Detailed for Adventure Mode

Tall, (3 blocks) completely dark, long arms and legs that are thin and lanky, and a creepily violent aversion to being looked at, the Endermen will be the newest addition to the monsters that roam the Miecraft world with the addition of Adventure Mode.

Look. they just want to build stuff like the rest of us.. and never be seen... EVAR

"Last weekend, I started working on a new mob...and for some reason I decided to make yet another creepy one. It’s dark, it has long and narrow limbs, moves very slowly, and will pick up blocks and move them around. I wanted this to be a mob you only saw in the distance and a mob you’d be afraid of, but when I playtested it, it mostly felt like a regular zombie...When I made it move faster towards the player when attacking, and deal more damage, it got more difficult and I started respecting it, but it never felt creepy or scary. So I made it passive until you looked straight at it. And that was scary. Suddenly you could walk up to these looking beasts (they’re three meters tall) and watch them as they moved their blocks around, but as soon as you happened to look straight at them, they’d attack...Still, that was more scary than creepy. It’s like a jump scare in a movie. You know it might happen at any time, and when it happens you freak out a bit. I wanted something a bit more psychological. So to really drive home the point of looking at them being bad, I made the Endermen freeze and turn towards you when you look at them. As long as you look straight at them, they stand perfectly still and look straight at you. As soon as you look away, they will run (very fast) towards you."


I am super excited to see this new mob. Notch has proven over and over again that his creativity is far from waning. Adventure Mode, to sum up, is going to be the shit.
