Fantasy Fauna

A collection of fantasy-themed creatures intended to flesh out the world of Minecraft a bit.

Mushcaps
They are small, semi-intelligent mushroom creatures. They have evolved to resemble already existing mushrooms in the world. Every type will hide when it perceives a threat by pulling in its limbs and rooting itself to the ground. Upon taking in enough rotten organic matter, they will reproduce via budding.

Mushcap Types:
-Red

Average mushroom spawns in forests in the overworld and in nether wastes. Drops a red mushroom.

-Brown

Average mushroom spawns in forests in the overworld and in nether wastes. Drops a brown mushroom.

-Crimson

Spawns in crimson forests in the nether. Drops a crimson fungus.

-Warped

Spawns in warped forests in the nether. Drops a warped fungus.

-Glowing

Spawns underground in the overworld and lightly glows. If you have a mod such as Random Things with a "glowingmushroom" item it will drop that otherwise it will drop glow squid ink.

-Vishroom

Spawns more rarely in forests in the overworld. Causes nausea on contact. If Thaumcraft or another mod with a "vishroom" item is present it will drop that otherwise it will drop purple dye.

Mushmaa
A sister species of the mushcaps, the mushmaa evolved to be stronger and far longer‑lived. They display a pronounced protective instinct toward their weaker counterparts, often acting as guardians and carers within their communities.

Mossolith
A slab of rock that can barely be considered alive. It has an attraction to mossy cobblestone perhaps viewing it as a potential mate despite its inability to reproduce. They will happily take any block you give it and put it on their head, they seem to like hiding under it. Interestingly they are strong enough to hold both the block and you on top of itself, you may want to lower your center of gravity to avoid falling off.

Wisp
Small orbs of sentient energy. They're completely harmless unless they're injured, in which case they'll lash out at any player near them till they can recover. Commonly drops glowstone dust and very rarely essence.

Wisp Lantern
If one should be lucky enough to obtain a wisps' essence it can be used to fashion a most useful device. A lantern that no matter where it is on your person, will keep the darkness at bay. These used to be quite popular amongst explorers, whether above ground or below, who did not have the time nor resources to light their way. Sadly this trinket fell out of common knowledge a long time ago.

Eyebat
A giant eyeball with bat wings and a pointed tail. They generally mind their own business but will attack if provoked. They usually show up in packs in wide open areas.

Any and all suggestions or criticism is welcome. You can suggest new creatures or features of existing creatures to add and if I like it and think it fits I will do so. Also if someone else suggests something you like comment the same thing or comment under theirs so I know it's a popular request.
