Nether Creatures

Blazes


Blazes inhabit the lengthy hallways of Nether Fortresses...they mostly consist of A floating head, supported by rods ranging from five to eight in number. They will "spit" out fire at anyone who angers them, and occasionally emits a poisonous smoke. Once killed the Blaze's rods can be used in the production of Brewing Stands, or grinded down into a fine powder which can be used in Alchemy.

Magma or Lava Slimes


Ever since the Nether Crisis emerged, these odd hybrid have started popping up. It has been said that the fairly simple body of the Slime combined with the power of the Nether to create this odd being. The Hybrid Slime however, gained a rather interesting power, when it jumps, it separates into multiple layers, revealing a small "core". It is not currently known if the core plays a specific part in killing the Slime faster or not, for alike their green brothers, they too are rather rare to find. However, it is known that when killed it has a chance to drop Magma Cream which can be used in Alchemy.

Pig Zombies


The Pig Zombies or Zombie Pigmen are the most common creature in the Nether, whenever there is a Nether fight they are usually involved somehow. They are usually spotted wielding golden swords, and seem to have an affinity for gold. They are normally docile creatures, but if aggravated will attack in packs. When killed they drop rotten flesh, and gold nuggets.

Farther into the Nether Crisis, the Pig Zombies have appeared to have lessened in numbers, and have been replaced by Gold Sword wielding Malvier, it is unknown if the Pig Zombies have been transformed into these Malvier, or merely replaced. There is no indication so far that they will return.

Ghasts


Ghasts are easily the most feared creature in the Nether. They are most commonly known for their "cries" which send shivers down the spines of many. The Ghast's soar through the skies of the forgotten world, and will attack anyone they see. When a Ghast notices you it will open its mouth and send down a large fireball at you. The trick to defeating the huge beast, is to volley the fireball back at the creature, this will damage it a little bit. Arrows are also affective against the beasts. Swords are not recommended, as the Ghast almost never touches the ground. When it is killed it will drop a single tear which can be used in Alchemy.
