Warden

General description

The warden is a hostile creature that is summoned by sculk screamers. They are completely blind creatures, and therefore use vibrations and their sense of smell to identify and locate players and other creatures. They are extremely powerful, and have the most damage and health of any creature.

Appearance

The warden is the tallest creature in the game, measuring almost 2 blocks wide and 3 blocks high (5 meters), with a collision box 2.9 blocks high and 0.8 blocks wide, weighing 1,452kg. His body is made of sculk and a bone-like material, the latter of which is noticeable on his arms, feet, and most notably on the ribs of his chest and the spine of his back. He has a pair of antennae on his head, no eyes or a conventional face, and his chest has a set of souls that light up the more upset he is.

Behavior

Wardens become "altered" when they detect an entity through vibrations. An entity that makes a vibration will cause a warden to detect its source and walk towards it. A warden remains in his altered state for 5 seconds, after which he calms down and desists from tracking. If an entity makes too many vibrations, gets close enough to be detected by their sense of smell, or attacks them directly, the wardens become "angry" by immediately entering their angry state and will begin to chase said entity. They work in a particular way with projectiles. If a projectile is thrown, it will go to the point where the projectile landed, and takes a 5 second reload time to be distracted again. If multiple projectiles are thrown in less than 5 seconds, be they snowballs, arrows, etc., it will enter its angry state immediately and go towards the source from which the projectiles were launched, that is, the player or creature that threw the projectiles. projectiles. Once angered, the wardens pursue their target, a process where they increase their speed approximately four times and run as if they were observing the target entity, and in turn inflict the Darkness effect on said entity. They track and attack all creatures, but exclude other wardens. In this state, the souls in your chest create a low, throbbing heartbeat sound, on par with the Darkness effect. The animation of its chest and antennae as well as the sound it emits gradually accelerate as the warden becomes more agitated.

Personality

Hostile, wild, territorial, dominant, extremely sadistic, extremely strong and serious (it is practically impossible to see him in any other way than serious), he has a lot of control of his surroundings and will kill anything that comes close to his territory. He is considered a mob rather than a boss, and is best avoided, as if he were a natural disaster.
