Description
The Murmur is a hostile villager-like creature with gray skin, a sad closed-eyed face and no nose, wearing a brownish-red coat and long, unkempt hair around its head. It spawns naturally throughout the overworld, makes eerie sniffer-like sounds, and will aggressively attack players and villagers on sight. When defeated it drops the Unseting Komodo, a unique trophy item representing its coat.

The Murmur
Quickstart
The Murmur spawns naturally at night (and in dark areas) throughout the Overworld, so you'll likely encounter one during normal survival play. When you see it — a gaunt, gray-skinned figure in a brownish-red coat with long disheveled hair and a sad, eyeless face — keep your guard up: it will attack you on sight. Defeat it to collect the Unseting Komodo, a trophy item representing its coat. If you want to spawn one manually, find The Murmur Spawn Egg in the Spawn Eggs creative tab.
Overview
The Murmur is a hostile mob that haunts the Overworld. Resembling a villager in shape but unsettling in every other way, it roams the landscape looking for players and villagers to attack. Its eerie, rumbling sounds — reminiscent of a sniffer — make it easy to hear before you see it. Defeating one rewards you with its signature drop, the Unseting Komodo.

Abilities And Mechanics
Combat behaviour
- The Murmur attacks with melee strikes and will pursue targets relentlessly within a 32-block detection range.
- It targets players and villagers on sight, and will also retaliate if hurt by any other source.
- It swims rather than drowning, so bodies of water won't stop it.
Stats
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Health | 24 HP (12 hearts) |
| Attack Damage | 4 HP (2 hearts) per hit |
| Movement Speed | Slightly slower than a player at full sprint |
| Detection Range | 32 blocks |
Sounds The Murmur uses deep, resonant sniffer-like sounds for its idle, hurt, death, and footstep audio — making it atmospherically distinct despite its villager-like silhouette.
Spawning
- Spawns in monster spawn groups of 1–3 anywhere in the Overworld.
- Will despawn if it wanders more than 128 blocks away from any player, but otherwise persists in the world.
- On death it awards 5 experience points.
Crafting And Obtaining
The Murmur has no crafting recipes. Its content is obtained through exploration and combat:
- The Murmur — Spawns naturally throughout the Overworld. Can also be spawned with The Murmur Spawn Egg (available in the Spawn Eggs creative tab, or via
/give). - Unseting Komodo — Dropped by The Murmur every time it is killed. One is guaranteed per kill.
Progression And Strategy
- The Murmur's 32-block detection range means it can spot you from a distance, so listen for its sniffer-like rumbles as an early warning.
- With 12 hearts of health and 2-heart hits, unarmored players should be careful — approach with at least iron armor and a sword.
- Villagers are also valid targets, so if you live near a village, expect The Murmur to cause problems. Consider patrolling or lighting up the surrounding area.
- The Unseting Komodo is a trophy item with no crafting use — collect it as a memento of your encounter or display it in an item frame.
