Hello once again you internet dwelling people! Behold, I have returned and such with another idea. This all came from the fact that in the new snapshot for Minecraft there's a one eyed, drug-induced monster known as the Guardian ( minecraft.gamepedia.com/Guardi…) which attacks squids. Now, I don't know about you but I'm quite fond of squids in Minecraft, mostly because they look so ridiculous, so of course they need something to protect them. Hence, the battering squid was born though they were originally going to have a jousting lance growing out of it's shell, and ten tentacles but a combination of Minecraft squids having eight tentacles and that it covered up its beak too much stopped the latter. Now, the colouring for the texture was inspired by this little cuttlefish here www.reef2reef.com/blog/wp-cont… which, in my opinion, improves the mob. The upper two images are just showing off the mob whilst the bottom two had the tentacles removed to show of the beak, both closed and opened. I might change the tentacles and the 'stone block' at a later date but for now, I'm pretty proud of the modelling. Anyway, for more information of how it would be implemented into Minecraft (if I were to do it), simply look below as usual.

Battering Squid
Mob Type: Hostile
Health Points: 30
Attack Damage Points (Charge): 25 (From twenty five to thirty blocks away), 20 (From nineteen to twenty four blocks away), 15 (From thirteen to eighteen blocks away), 10 (From seven to twelve blocks away)
Attack Damage Points (Melee): 3 (Easy), 4 (Normal), 6 (Hard)

Spawns: Water in Ocean Biomes
Behaviour: The Battering Squid is an uncommon species of cephalopod that scours the oceans, searching for fresh prey to kill. Whilst they'll certainly attack swimming players, if they notice any guardians they'll charge straight for them and engage in mortal combat. However, if they sense an Elder Guardian nearby then they'll swim away as quickly as they can. Battering Squids are usually found solitarily in shoals of Squids, though rarely they can spawn in groups of three to five of them.
Attack Methods: The main method of attack that the Battering Squid uses is (as the name suggests) by propelling itself across distances and crushing the enemy with the stone block embedded into the tip of it's shell. The further away the Battering Squid's away from its target then the more damage it'll do to said target. However, if the Battering Squid is one to six blocks close to it's target then it cannot charge at it. Instead, it'll just simply flail its tentacles in the targets face.

Drops:
Two to Five Ink Sacs
Three Stone Blocks

As usual, please leave a comment below. Especially about what you think about the new layout, inspired the one that uses for his own Minecraft ideas.
