Summary
A talented artist from the onlineMinecraftcommunity has shown off some of their latest mob redesigns, featuring the enderman, wither skeleton, bogged, and stray mobs. Creatures such as the wither skeleton and enderman are often considered among the creepiest ofMinecraft’s diverse range of mobs, both hostile and not, and have appeared in no shortage of fan artwork over the years thanks to their already eerie appearances.
Minecraftis actually home to quite a few unnerving creaturesdespite how peaceful the game looks on the surface. Every new fantastical monster, realm, and biome added to the game over the years further enrichesMinecraft’s fantasy universe, and even some of the game’s more recent updates have added mobs that capture the same creepy vibe that the enderman brought in some of the sandbox game’s early days. The creaking, for example, is one ofMinecraft’s newest mobs that was introduced along with the sinister pale garden biome, and are essentially ever-present tree monsters that will only ever move when they’re out of the player’s sight.
One fan artist from theMinecraftcommunity, known as Just_A_Normal_Palm, has recently shared their latest batch ofreimaginedMinecraftmonsters. These awesome designs are focused on some of the game’s creepier mobs, specifically the enderman, wither skeleton, bogged, and stray, sprucing up some of these mobs' existing features while adding new ones that fit the artist’s fantastic art style. Another neat touch that the creator included is each mob’s name written alongside them in both Illageralt runes, a language that was initially introduced inMinecraft Dungeons, and the Standard Galactic Alphabet, which is the font used inMinecraft’s enchanting table interface.
These Minecraft Mob Redesigns Make Them Even Creepier
The reimagined wither skeleton is a particularly awesome design, with the mob featuring a much larger stone sword and even some raggedy clothing. It’s also geared up with what looks like the skull of one of the Nether’s hoglins as a shoulder pauldron.Minecraft’s bogged and stray skeleton variantsgot similar treatments, with the stray redesign showing off what the mob’s various pieces of clothing might realistically look like. The bogged, on the other hand, is shown as a skeleton overgrown with moss and mushrooms, and even has its own root-like arrows embedded in the growth.
Minecraftis seeing quite a few new mobs added to the game relatively frequently nowadays, though even its oldest critters continue to inspire fan artwork even more than a decade later. The recent reveal ofMinecraft’s adorable happy ghastand ghastling mobs have been particularly popular among artists, quickly standing out as new fan-favorite mobs before they’ve even been officially added to the game.
