taps the mic. hi everyone ive noticed that when making hybrid mc characters (both mycts and ocs) people tend to gravitate towards a handful of mobs to make hybrids of. But minecraft has many wonderful mobs that are woefully untapped for hybrid character material. below i have written a list for your perusal and enjoyment of mob hybrid concepts that arent the standard, in case anyone wants to make a character a lil different :)
Sniffer hybrid: centaur-type due to the 6 limbs. Tends to grow large. Big floppy ears, lots of fuzz and body hair, naturally brightly coloured hair (red/teal/yellow). Eyesight is poor so usually wears glasses but olfactory senses are very strong, which makes them excellent cooks. Generally gregarious and laid back. Possesses a natural affinity for gardening and landscaping.
Silverfish hybrid: small, reclusive, tends to burrow and build nests. Big segmented eyes. Covered in spines, particularly on the head, the face, the back, and the tail - these lay mostly flat against the body when neutral but are raised and flared when agitated or for expression during communication. Strongly prefers being underground and doesn't like water. Coloring and patterning of hair, skin and spines matches the type of stone most commonly found in their home biome - regular stone, deepslate, diorite, granite, tuff, andesite, basalt, calcite and dripstone silverfish hybrid communities all exist and have their own unique cultures. Masterful stomemasons who possess a natural affinity for finding ores.
Polarbear hybrid: large and very strong. Tend to be solitary but are fiercly loyal to their loved ones. Tall and broad, with black sclera, white shaggy hair/fur and carnivore teeth. Very adept in water as well as on land, and doesn't struggle to travel across ice like most other players. Very resistant to cold but weak to heat, they avoid warm biomes as much as possible. Hates the Nether. Tend to be nomadic, traveling from snowy biome to snowy biome, but will settle down under the right circumstances. Extremely proficient sailors, fishermen and survivalist experts. Often live on singleplayer servers but will move to community servers at times.
Ravager hybrid: large centaur-type. Prefers to live with several family or family-like groups in fortified towns, but not resistant to living in mixed hybrid communities in the right server. Very territorial and often short tempered, but loyal to a fault once you earn it. Has long upright horns and prominent lower canines/tusks as adults, while children have horn buds and no tusks. Very expressive in both voice and body language when communicating. Excellent endurance travelers, hunters and warriors. Not to be confused with goat hybrids (they're much larger). Extremely accomplished brewers, and notorious for their raucous parties.
Armadillo hybrid: small. Has large expressive ears, long claws on both hands and feet, and a short tail. Their forehead, cheeks, back, chest, forearms and shins have keratin armor plating, which they like to paint on and decorate. Thrives in the hot biomes, generally enjoys the Nether (will sometimes live in or around a server's Hub if the overworld spawn is too cold), dislikes the End. Small but resilient, though they tend to shy away from battle and danger. Excellent artisans, especially when it comes to ceramics and painting. Culturally consumes the giant overworld spiders and some societies will farm them on ranches.
Strider hybrid: slightly larger than average player sized. Covered in iridescent reddish scales that range from firetruck to a deep plum colour. Large, expressive eyes and a wide froglike mouth. "Whiskers" extending as fans from behind the ears, which are thin stiff feathers that detect moisture in the air. Water burns their skin like lava would to overworld mobs; conversely, lava is like water to them and they will build floating towns on Nether lavalakes. Rarely ventures out of the Nether and when they do they wear large protective enchanted hats, cloaks and boots to keep warmth in and rain out. Will not spend extended amounts of time in the Overworld unless in rainless biomes or underground - it's very rare for them to settle in the Overworld at all. Common tongue doesnt come naturally to them as their own language is a complex system of clicks and croaks, so many instead use sign language to communicate with Overworlders.
