Huh.

Those are more creepy than I thought. And is that one holding a sand block?

[Cho]

Whoa! What in blazes are those? Shadows?? And it sure looks like it's holding a block of sand... mobs that can build? or tear down something??

[Hytro]

O_O I will never go out in the night again

[derigin]

Whoa! What in blazes are those? Shadows?? And it sure looks like it's holding a block of sand... mobs that can build? or tear down something??

Oh man, mobs that can lift up blocks and move them around. That's more terrifying than their appearance.

[Wildwill002]

So about that forcing people into beds at night idea...

[XDelphi]

S- s- s- Slendermaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan Q_Q
This truly makes this game more frightening.

I know! Going to have to design a whole new series of home defense... I'm thinking bridges over a minimum 2 block wide lava channel. Let's hope they have the same spawn rules as other mobs. Can you imagine if they need even more light to stop spawning?

[Tomenaki]

Oh dear... I hope the fire-wall in RSTP keeps these guys out... And... I may have to have similar defenses in my mine as well... >_>

Creepy little buggers..... though, I wonder what they drop when killed.

[Milo_Windby]

Kind of reminds me of Pickle Inspector from Problem Sleuth adventure. (An MSPaint comic)

[Darktaint]

O Shiiii-
That's horrible let's just hope there's certain blocks it can't move lets say obsidian

[vallorn]

YAY! a challenge!

*draws Diamond Sword*

this will be Fun!

[Pinmissile]

They're the new wolves, duh.

[Tulonsae]

I wonder how this will affect mob towers.

[xidontcarex]

woah thats scary o.o its like herobrine except its more common and with more of them

[xidontcarex]

I wonder how this will affect mob towers.

lol *removes ladder that holds the lava* oror *removes the glass the drowns them*


haha... if they are really able to move blocks, imagine digging into the earth at night and then coming back up in the morning realizing your house doesnt exists anymore

[Aenir_bEPU]

Perhaps, since they seem to be some sort of shadow mob, light itself hurts them; even a torch could kill one.

Because I really can't see Notch making it so that a new mob could tear apart everyone's stuff block by block.

I think the creeper isn't going to be happy about competition...

[Tomenaki]

Of coursssssssssse he'sssssss not.

[vallorn]

I wonder how this will affect mob towers.

*removes gravity that kills them*

Slenderman can appear anytime in any place. There is no stopping them.

From rumors I've heard, this is what they'll be like (NOTE: only rumors!):

• Will only spawn and move around in darkness. coming into contact with light makes them go insane and attack anything that moves nearby.
• Only move when out of the player's FOV. When you see them, they just stop and stare at you.
• Will take blocks from manmade structures and bring them to their dens, building structures out of them.
• Cannot be damaged by normal weapons--you need to sneak into their dens and steal weapons they make to hurt them.
• When killed, will drop a new type of bones. You can go up to the mob and exchange the bones for something, usually a block it had picked up.
• Small chance to receive a helm that grants night vision from one of these exchanges.
• Completely silent.

I hate it when angles cry. They smudge up my quadrilaterals.

[Skunk_Giant]

Am I the only one who thinks they look a bit like dementors?
