Description
The Infernal Axolotl is a tiny, demonic axolotl (half the normal size) with glowing red eyes, charred skin, and tiny horns that never spawns naturally and must be summoned with a spawn egg or command. Hyper-aggressive, it attacks all nearby beings within a 20-block radius and now scurries across land at terrifying speed—far faster than a sprinting player—while remaining fully amphibious and able to stay on land indefinitely. It can be leashed with a normal lead that won’t snap as it strains to pursue targets, and the lead can only be removed by directly interacting with it. Works best with the full Murder on The Vine modpack I made. This thing is a monster... beware. For that reason, you can only summon by command, use a command block and lever for safe and quick spawning. Attach it to a fence with a lead around your base or in a zone where you need a trap. If that lead is broken, or a player or mob of any kind comes too close it is game over for them... use multiple of these demon-esque entities for the most terrifying "attack-dog" experience. Again, use the command block and lever method for spawning most effectively. Their hitbox is tiny, so be prepared if you do not have keep inventory active.

Infernal Axolotl
Quickstart
- Open your inventory and find the Infernal Axolotl Spawn Egg (dark brown with red spots), or run the command
/summon com_infernal_axolotl_alucjkfj:myaxolotl. - Use the spawn egg on any surface to summon the creature.
- Back away immediately — it will lock onto you within 20 blocks and charge at speeds faster than a sprinting player.
- To leash it safely, have a Lead ready and interact with the Infernal Axolotl. To remove the lead, interact with it directly again.
Overview
The Infernal Axolotl is a tiny, hyper-aggressive demonic mob that never appears in the world on its own — every encounter is one you choose to start. Half the size of a normal axolotl, it sports charred skin, glowing red eyes, and small horns. Despite its unsettling cuteness, it is a genuine threat: it moves faster than a sprinting player on land, is fully amphibious, and will relentlessly pursue players, villagers, iron golems, and most passive animals alike.
What It Adds
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Infernal Axolotl | Tiny demonic mob, half normal axolotl size |
| Infernal Axolotl Spawn Egg | Dark brown / red egg for summoning |
| Infernal Horn Fragment | Rare trophy drop (player-kill only) |
Abilities And Mechanics
Aggression
The Infernal Axolotl targets anything within a 20-block radius without needing line of sight. Its target list includes players, villagers, iron golems, cows, sheep, and most other passive or neutral mobs. It will re-select targets and persist in pursuit for several seconds even if the current target escapes.
Each attack deals 5 damage (2.5 hearts) and is followed by a short cooldown before it can strike again.
Movement
On land, the Infernal Axolotl scurries at a speed that outpaces a sprinting player — don't expect to simply run away. It is equally at home underwater, swimming at the same high speed. Unlike normal axolotls, it can remain on land indefinitely without drying out.
Leashing
You can attach a Lead to the Infernal Axolotl by interacting with it. The lead will stretch far and will never snap no matter how hard the creature strains against it. To remove the lead, interact with the axolotl directly — you cannot cut it with shears.
Vulnerabilities
- Lightning is catastrophically effective — it deals 2000× normal lightning damage, making a Channeling trident in a thunderstorm a reliable one-shot solution.
- Lava damages it (4 damage per tick), so it is not immune to fire despite its infernal nature.
- It has 20 HP (10 hearts), matching a player's base health.
XP
Killing an Infernal Axolotl rewards 3–6 XP, but only if a player lands the killing blow.
Progression And Strategy
Engagement options:
- Lure it into lava — it takes rapid fire damage and will die quickly.
- Strike it with lightning — a Channeling trident during a thunderstorm is an almost instant kill.
- Leash and reposition it — use a Lead to drag it somewhere contained before releasing it on a target or simply to keep it under control.
- Stay airborne — the axolotl walks on land but cannot fly or climb, so elevated positions break its melee threat.
Looting pays off. A Looting III sword noticeably improves the quantity of all drops and slightly increases the chance of the rare Infernal Horn Fragment trophy.
Drops
| Item | Chance | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slime Ball | Always | 1–3 | +1 with Looting |
| Magma Cream | ~50% | 0–2 | +1 with Looting |
| Nether Wart | ~40% | 1–2 | +1 with Looting |
| Blaze Powder | ~30% | 1–2 | +1 with Looting |
| Infernal Horn Fragment | ~15% | 1 | Player kill only; +1 with Looting |
The Infernal Horn Fragment is a renamed Phantom Membrane and serves as a prestige trophy proving you personally slew the creature.
