Skeleton
A fast paced enemy that shoots arrows at the player. They will burn in sunlight. They spawn in dark locations or at night. They drop arrows and bones which makes them a good farming source of materials. If a creeper is killed by a skeleton arrow, a music disc may drop.





Creeper
A dangerous hostile mob that will ambush a player and explode. The amount of damage to the environment depends on the material around. They will not burn in sunlight and will follow a player. They spawn in dark locations or at night.





Spider

Cave Spider
Cave spiders are similar to spiders, except they posses the ability to poison a player! They only form in abandon mines. They drop a spider eye and string.





Spider Jockey
A rare occurrence where a spider is ridden by a skeleton. They are separate entities and thus both must be killed individually. Killing them offers a potential four-in-one item drop special. Attacking with wolves is not recommended.





Enderman
A humanoid mob that will not attack unless the player stares at them. Enderman move blocks and will cause damage to structures and the environment. By not staring, a player can avoid attack. Endermen are damaged by attacks, fire, lava, water and poison.





 Slime

Ghast
Very large jelly-fish like mobs that float around the Nether and shoot block destroying fireballs from their mouths. When a player looks at them their eyes will open and they will begin an assault. Normally when unprovoked, they just float around. Ghast's cant break cobblestone with fireballs, so If your planning on having a shelter in the nether, make it out of cobblestone!





 Wither
A hostile mob that is ghostly and three-headed. Its hostile to all mobs except the undead. The wither moves quickly and throws Wither Skulls which act like poison. The poison effects can kill a player and the Wither will sap health. It can also destroy blocks like the Enderman and Ghast.

At 50% HP, the Wither becomes immune to arrows.
