🐶 Mob Overview


dirt_golem

Dirt Golem

A friendly creature found in the added Greenhouse Structure as well as Sunflower Plains, and Flower Forest Biomes. It loves saplings and small flowers. When given one, it’ll occasionally happily tap its rear end on the ground to plant it, taking care to add a little more beauty to its surroundings.


___


tuff_golem

Tuff Golem

This handsome guy can be found in its Temple, which generates in Jungle Biomes. It has a love for showcasing items given to it. Once it receives something, it stays in place, proudly displaying the item. While holding its treasure, the Tuff Golem becomes invulnerable, making it a steadfast protector of whatever it treasures. You can even change its clothing color by giving it a wool or moss carpet, adding a personal touch to its look while it stands guard over its treasure.


___


glare

Glare

A mysterious creature that spawns in Lush Caves, casting a soft glow that illuminates its surroundings. Villagers find it a bit spooky, almost ghostlike, and often warn their golems about it. Despite its eerie appearance, the Glare is harmless and simply adds a touch of light to the caves. A pale variant of the Glare can also be found in the Pale Garden Biome.


___


penguin

Penguin

A clumsy and playful creature found in the Snowy Plains, Ice Spikes, and Frozen or Deep Frozen Ocean Biomes. It loves to skate on ice, moving much faster than you'd expect for such a little guy. Penguins are especially fond of Raw Cod, and feeding one makes it incredibly happy. In return, it will give you an Ice or Snow-related item as a thank you.


___


bloomer

Bloomer

A new variant of the Creeper, still just as scary, but with a twist. Instead of causing a destructive explosion, when it detonates, it creates a moss patch where it stood. In a way, the Bloomer sacrifices itself to beautify its surroundings, leaving a peaceful touch of greenery behind in place of the usual destruction.


___


nautilus_crab

Nautilus Crab

A fascinating creature found in six different variants on beaches. These crabs have a unique habit of burying ocean-related items in the sand whenever they feel like it. With a little patience, you can "brush" out these hidden treasures, which might include a rare item, the Nautilus Horn. When played, the Nautilus Horn produces a special sound that summons a Pufftail, adding a magical touch to your beachside adventures. You never know what treasures they might hide beneath the sand!


___


mushling

Mushling

A cute, mushroom-like mob found in Mushroom Fields. It comes in two variants: red and brown. These little creatures are known for their love of mushrooms, and depending on their color, they will occasionally plant Red or Brown Mushrooms. Their playful nature and their contribution to the mushroom landscape make them a charming addition to the Mushroom Fields.


___


rat

Rat

A small, fast creature that spawns in Barn and Graveyard Structures. With five different variants, these little creatures are always on the move. Rats have a particular fondness for Rotten Flesh, which they nibble on whenever they can. In return for feeding them, Rats might even hand you a piece of Cheese as a thank you, making them quirky and somewhat useful companions in the wild.


___


snail

Snail

A slow-moving creature found in Taiga biomes, with 9 different variants to discover. These little creatures have a unique defense mechanism—they are afraid of Arthropods! Whenever an Arthropod comes too close, the Snail retreats into its shell, leaving behind a slimy trail cloud. This trail not only slows down anything that crosses it but also gives the Oozing effect, causing creatures to be covered in gooey slime.
