### Shy Dweller
Something lives in the dark below — and it doesn't like to be seen.
Shy Dweller adds a terrifying new entity to Minecraft's caves. The Dweller is a tall, pale creature that lurks silently in unlit caverns, wandering the darkness far beneath your feet. It's completely passive... until you look at its face.
One glance is all it takes. Once you've seen it, the Dweller flies into an unstoppable rage — screaming, tearing through blocks, and hunting you relentlessly until it reaches you or you die. Running is your only option, but it's faster than you. Hiding won't help. It knows where you are.
And it doesn't always stay in the caves. Sometimes, the Dweller finds its way to the surface. You might hear faint sobbing through your walls at night, or turn around in your own home to find it sitting quietly in a dark corner — waiting for you to make the mistake of looking.
