Glow Skeleton

A skeleton variant that spawns deep underground and can be identified from far away due to it's innate glow, akin to that of a Glow Squid.

Lava Squid

It's normally passive but when attacked it will be aggroed and will shoot fireballs to the enemy, in the meantime alerting all other Lava Squids in the near vicinity who will start attacking as well. It drops Blaze Powder and Magma Cream.

Mother Lava Squid

It drops the same as Lava Squids but with higher drop rates and it can attack either by shooting a single large fireball or a barrage of many fireballs

Very rare neutral variant of the Demon Eye that resembles an Eye of Ender and can teleport around. It will drop ender pearls and, rarely, ender eyes

Corrupted Ancient Hero

A very strong and rare monster that will only spawn in the deepest caves (below y = 12). It will attack the player with incessant melee swings and a barrrage of tracking skull projectiles. As its health gets lower it will start to lose pieces of his armor becoming more vulnerable to damage but faster and more dangerous. As its health goes below 50% its head will detach from its body and start flying around shooting skull projectiles at the player as the body keeps attacking in melee. Once killed it will always drop its broken sword, used in the crafting of legendary weapons such as Darkstar. It will sometimes also drop one piece of its armour (Dark Helmet or Dark Chestplate), with the same stats as netherite armour. Among other rewards it can also drop dark fragments and rare materials such as diamonds and more rarely netherite scraps. The head can drops rare minerals such as diamonds, gold and lapis lazuli, and sometimes it will drop a skeleton skull or, very rarely, a wither skeleton skull.
