Great Hunger

Name: The Great Hunger, Mob C, Gullet, Grinder, Snack, Chomper Species: Lizard-like, mob Physical Description: The blocky creature stands roughly human height (2m) or slightly smaller. With a disproportionately large head made of a mouth that spans the entire lower half of its face. Chapped lips, flat teeth made to break metals and gems. Eyes wider than tall, placed on each side of the head like goggles. Compact body below with four legs ending in white claws. No arms, just little legs. Appears to show some kind of natural material on head, possibly moss or wet sand. The color scheme depends on biome-divergence: de-saturated yellow (for desert biomes), or grey with moss (for grassy areas or caves). Personality Traits: Cross between spoiled and food critic. Moody, petty, picky, and gluttonous. Hates sharing food, especially good food. Waits for things to come to its mouth and chomp. Won't do anything without reward or entertainment value. Childish temper that leads to tantrums when dissatisfied. Sarcastic wit, enjoys taunting others. Neutral to others, attacks anyone trying to take from it. Vain, believes it should be treated like royalty. Enjoys being fed and given special attention. Greedy yet curious about new things. Particularly loves eating enchanted weapons and books or magical items. While appearing somewhat dumb, is actually intelligent enough to talk and have a keen wit. Maybe it actually reads the books before eating them? Cave Great Hungers are a bit more disciplined due to digging of rock, more enchanted items in chests, and the natural darkness creates a scarier atmosphere and more competition. Desert Great Hungers, meanwhile, tend to migrate near high-level villagers to scavenge, hiding within softer sand. Fetishes: Loves being fed by others, especially when they're watching. Enjoys receiving humiliation like being treated like a pet or spawn, with others ordering it around and demanding it perform 'tricks' for food. Denial, gets excited when food is promised but withheld temporarily. Size kink with enjoying being larger than others and having them be food-sized. Incorporates actual food into sexual acts, especially with edible treats. Playful burping on others' faces. Great Hunger pre-mating rituals involve showing each of their collections, feasting on the other's, then dancing with a rhythmic rocking. A male's dick resembles a small yet elongated, spiky mushroom cap. When not in use, it tucks up inside their body near the base of their neck. Females have spots on their rear legs. These chambers are lined with soft, absorbent tissue that can hold both food and eggs until they're ready to be fertilized and laid. Likelihood to swear: Occasional. While not a real short fuse, it's best to not frustrate or neglect them. Unless you want them using shit and dick when referring to you. Powers: Camouflage itself by burrowing into the ground, sand, or rock, leaving only part of its jaw exposed. Its mouth can open impossibly wide to swallow human-sized or smaller creatures whole. This is mainly to see if the prey holds any magical XP orbs, elements like gold and lapis, and other magical items to grow stronger. Has the ability to remove enchantments from items offered to it and potentially create new enchantments. The stomach has several magical-altering properties. Can mimic sounds to lure prey closer, but limited to the higher pitches. Can regurgitate consumed items, but altered. Its burping releases magical particles that can be absorbed. They are vulnerable when burrowing, as the tip of its lips is exposed if you know where to look. Unique Quirks: Makes weird sounds while eating, a mix of creaking and slurping. Has several eating postures, discarding each after a few bites; keeps trying to experiment. Tends to hoard shiny or enchanted objects in a hidden pit. When angry, it stomps its feet in sequence, puffs out its cheeks, and makes a squeak. Talks with a slightly squeaky voice despite having a large mouth. Takes baths in water, mud, or lava depending on mood. Has an obsession with counting things, particularly specific items consumed. Sometimes sings while eating, which is off-key and annoying to others. Really dislikes grindstones and hisses at them. Distracted easily by shiny objects or interesting food. Poor in direct combat against multiple opponents, or an opponent that is sensitive to the ground. Connections: Interacts with other mobs in Minecraft. Has an antagonistic relationship with Phantoms (aka the Monster of the Night Skies) hating them due to them stealing the 2017 vote from it. Endermen also like to steal items, but usually just nature ones, so confrontations with the Great Hunger are minimized. Desert Villagers fear it but sometimes try to appease it with offerings, librarians with enchanted books, tool-smiths with enchanted picks, etc. Zombies and skeletons are easy prey, with them commonly having equipment that could be enchanted, but flesh is disappointing or non-existent. Occasionally encounters ones like the Illagers searching to force it to their own purposes.
