What Is The Singular Form Of Endermen? - Tumblr Posts

Minecraft Headcanons:

 Just some visual/behavioral ideas I’d like to use in art at some point. They are partially based off some of the mods I use, such as Quark. Feel free to add your own! Nether and End headcanons under the cut.

The Overworld:

Spiders and skeletons stick together often. Because of this, cobwebs will hang off the ribs of skeletons, and their bones can become stained by the venom from cave spiders.

In dungeons and around spawners, candles melt onto some of the skeletons, and get attached onto their shoulders. While the candles normally burn out, they sometimes stay lit, and set the tips of arrows aflame.

The armor that some mobs spawn with was what they were buried with when they died.

Missing bones on strays are replaced with sharp ice that can cut skin.

Husks, because of how dry they are, burn quite easily, and their skin is like thin paper that cracks around their joints and faces.

Pillager war bands fight each other for control of their territories and the villages within it. If you’re not a pillager, hanging the stolen banner of one group will mark you as an ally to others.

When you have the “Bad Omen” effect, you’re marked as an enemy to a group. Entering a village with it in effect causes a raid because they don’t want you to take control of it from them.

The Nether:

Many nether-natives put a lot of effort into decorating their bodies, often with golden tattoos and jewelry.

Wither skeletons repair their broken bones with blaze rods and powder. They paint markings onto their skin with blaze powder as well. The powder embeds itself in the cracks and pores in the bone, and takes a while to fade.

They also wear soul beads (from the Quark mod) as rings or on necklaces. Depending on the size of the bead, they are used to decorate not only the hand/finger bones, but also the on the ribs, collar bone, and jaw, as piercings.

The beads add to the rattle of their bones, and sometimes positioned to create musical notes. Every wither skeleton has a unique "song.”

Hoglins have thick protective skin that piglins tattoo and paint with gold dust.

Piglin jewelry is made of hoglin tusks/bones, gold, and quartz crystals.

I miss zombie pigmen.

Zombie pigmen couldn’t feel pain in their skin. They used the heat of lava to burn or char markings into it. The scars took a while to heal, but the fungus that caused their rot would avoid scar tissue.

In warped forests, the trees can release toxic fumes into the air, that makes most mobs avoid them. These fumes negatively effect most living natives of the nether, but makes the flames of blazes burn hotter, and makes their smoke purple.

The End:

Endermen have their pearls set into their forehead, chest, etc. (like Steven Universe)

As they teleport, endermen turn into smoke. The more often they teleport, the larger their omnipresent smoke/particle cloud.

While most commonly a dark purple, endermen can have splotches and streaks of other shades of purple, sometimes even white.

They are the only race from another dimension that doesn’t go out of their way to decorate their skin. 

Shulker grow with stories naturally engraved into their shells, written in the same script as enchanting tables.

Endermen sing together, often around the dragon’s bedrock nest. It doesn’t sound much different than their angry screams, and the air is filled with buzzing, scraping screaming. 

After the dragon is killed, they sing more often, and in larger groups. Unless outright attacked during this time, they let visitors make eye contact, and let the visitors get close.

Endermites carry a number of diseases that can be incredibly dangerous for endermen, and are similar to leeches. If not killed quickly, they latch on and are incredibly difficult to remove.

Once an endermen (enderman? idk) dies, others will find the blocks it moved during its life to its resting place, to build a crypt around it. As the body decomposes, and the foreign blocks turn into end stone, chorus plants grow from the grave.

The crypts keep the endermites from eating the body, and defiling a new grave, or completely cutting down a chorus plant is considered disrespectful.
