Wendigo Mindstalker

Quickstart

• In Creative Mode, find the Wendigo Mindstalker Spawn Egg and use it on the ground to summon one.
• To summon it with commands, use /summon com_wendigo_mindstalker_u7kpojez:mycustom.
• Try meeting it in an open area: it pursues players and can strike when close and able to see them. Keep your distance or use obstacles to break its line of sight.

Overview

The Wendigo Mindstalker is a large, antlered hostile mob that stalks players. It can spawn naturally in dark forest and taiga areas on Normal or Hard difficulty, or you can place one yourself with its spawn egg.

What It Adds

• The Wendigo Mindstalker mob and its Creative Mode spawn egg.
• A player-hunting creature with 40 health.

How To Use

Use the spawn egg on a block to place the Wendigo in the world. It will seek out nearby players and move toward them; it can jump and travel over water.

Crafting And Obtaining

There is no crafting recipe for the Wendigo or its spawn egg. Find the egg in the Creative inventory, or encounter the mob naturally on the surface of forest or taiga biomes in low light (brightness 0–7) on Normal or Hard difficulty. Natural spawns are solitary.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Hunts players: It detects players up to 32 blocks away when it can see them.
• Close-range strike: It attacks at very close range, requires line of sight, and deals 8 damage before armor and other damage reduction.
• Growing smartness: Its smartness value increases by 5 per in-game day, up to 75 after 15 days. There is no displayed meter or clearly signaled stage change.

Progression And Strategy

Treat the Wendigo as a persistent threat as days pass. Avoid letting it get close, and use terrain or blocks to interrupt its line of sight. Its strike requires both close range and a clear view, so creating distance or putting an obstacle between you and it can prevent an attack.
