MMI The Dune Worm

MMI (Minecraft Mob Idea) The Dune Worm

Dune worms are man sized worms that swim in the sand as if it were water. Sand blocks are the only blocks they spawn in and move in. They can jump 3 blocks high, but thats only if it's trying to get you when ure on a higher elevation. If it lands on anything but sand, it will pretty much be stuck and will attempt to dive back into safety of the sand, it's pretty much defensless in the open. When these things leap at you, they will latch on to you and slowly pull you into the sand, which will then slowly sufficate you. Note that they do not pull you down instantly. (They pull you into the sand at about 1/2 the speed of your sneak) If more worms latch on to you, they can pull you down faster. Dune worms are uncommon and spawn in vast sand areas (About 10x5 block space required). Since they are light and squishy, they have 3 hearts and move slightly faster than the player. It can heal underground if untouched for 5 seconds.

These creatures will drop 0-2 slime (since worms tend to be wet and slimey) and/or 0-1 worm bait for fishing.

Collision: The worm has a 1/2 x 1/2 collision (each segment has it's own collision box).
