Gloom Hisswalker

Quickstart

• In Creative mode, search your inventory for the Gloom Hisswalker Spawn Egg and use it to spawn one.
• With cheats enabled, you can also summon one with /summon com_gloom_hisswalker_hklvemfc:mycustom ~ ~ ~.
• Keep some distance and watch for its hiss-like warning before the blast. Move more than 7 blocks away or get behind a solid obstruction to avoid the attack.

Overview

The Gloom Hisswalker is a gloomy, four-legged monster that wanders and watches nearby players. When a player gets close and is visible, it winds up with a warning sound, then unleashes a powerful blast.

What It Adds

• The Gloom Hisswalker and its spawn egg.
• A damaging, knockback-producing blast attack.
• Rotten flesh and a chance of gunpowder as drops when killed by a player.

How To Use

Find one spawning on the Overworld surface in dark conditions, or spawn one with its egg or the summon command above. Its warning gives you a moment to react: retreat beyond the blast’s reach or put a solid block between you and the creature.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Blast: The attack can hit entities within 7 blocks that have a clear line of sight. It deals 38 damage and knocks victims back; nearby creatures can be caught in it too.
• Warning and recovery: The Hisswalker signals before attacking, then has a cooldown before it can attack again.
• Durability: It has 50 health.
• Drops: A player kill yields 0–2 rotten flesh. Gunpowder has a chance to drop, improved by Looting.

Progression And Strategy

Hisswalkers spawn on the Overworld surface in light levels of 7 or less, on Easy through Hard, usually alone or in pairs. Use cover and keep your distance when exploring dark areas. If you choose to fight, avoid standing close when the warning begins.
