Hominid

Hominid - noun - A primate of a family that includes humans.

Hominid is a mod featuring the long gone humans of the Minecraft world.

These new monsters bring some variation to combat and can make certain biomes more challenging, as generic mobs are replaced with variants that better fit their environment. Hominid's mobs vary in rarity and behaviour, which means they can each provide different threats and encounters.

Mobs:

Mellified - passive

adjective - Preserved or saturated in honey, often referring to an ancient practice of embalming or medicinal preparation.

The Mellified been covered in honey for so long that it hasn't decomposed and is quite well preserved. When hit, honey will splatter from the Mellified’s skin and apply the new “Honeyed” effect to any nearby enemy, which causes health regeneration while also disabling any negative status effects. They may follow players but won't actually attack them. The Mellified spawns in the following biomes: Meadow Cherry Grove Flower Forest Birch Forest Old Growth Birch Forest

Incendiary - hostile

adjective - Designed to cause fires.

The Incendiary is a dangerous new zombie that carries around a gasoline tank. When it spots you it will catch fire, running much faster to deal high damage hits that set you alight. The Incendiary spawns in the following biomes: Taiga Snowy taiga Old growth Spruce Taiga Old growth Pine taiga Windswept Hills Grove

Famished - hostile

adjective - Very hungry.

The Famished is a thin mob that spawns in barren environments with very little food. They will instantly eat any animal they see (this includes horses, which they will first turn into zombie horses, then skeleton horses). Upon seeing an animal or a player holding meat, the Famished will start aggressively chasing it until it has been devoured (Famished cannot eat tamed animals). The Famished spawns in the following biomes: Dripstone Caves Stony Peaks Jagged Peaks Frozen Peaks Snowy Slopes Snowy Plains Ice Spikes Windswept Hills Desert Badlands

Juggernaut - hostile

noun - An unstoppable and overwhelming force.

The Juggernaut's sturdy armor deflects projectiles, and their powerful fists deal heavy damage and knockback. Make use of your speed advantage to not get cornered! The Juggernaut sometimes replaces standard zombies in all biomes.

Fossilized - hostile

adjective - Preserved in a hardened form over time, typically through mineralization, as a remnant of a past organism or structure.

The Fossilized is a mineralized imprint of a skeleton. It appears to have taken its mannerisms as it throws rock slabs like frisbees at players, dealing very high damage. Fossilised can be brushed for the special "Remains" armor trim, resembling a skeleton once applied on armor. The Fossilized spawns rarely in the following biomes: Desert Swamp Mangrove Swamp Dripstone Caves Lush Caves Badlands Eroded Badlands Wooded Badlands

Vampire - neutral

noun - A corpse that rises nightly from its grave to drink the blood of the living.

The Vampire is an unusual threat that should be avoided if possible. Players will be alerted of a vampire's presence, due to the fact that they inflict the new "Paranoia" effect in their vicinity. While they are very dangerous, they won't attack players on sight and will only be hostile towards a mob or player that has taken damage (try to use this to your advantage and have the vampire kill other mobs). Even if a vampire isn't hostile, they will still stalk players from a distance and wait patiently for them to be hit. Due to their lack of skin, vampires are incredibly weak to sunlight and will be killed immediately upon contact with it. The Vampire spawns in the following biomes: Dark Forest

Bellman - neutral

noun - A person who carries or rings a bell.

The Bellman is highly dangerous as it can summon other mobs to fight for it. While it will not directly attack players, it will approach them and ring its bell. This causes three random zombies/skeletons/similar human mobs to spawn around it. Mobs spawned by Bellmen will not drop any items. The Bellman sometimes replaces standard zombies in all biomes.
