• All villagers speak the same language, but have wildly different dialects and accents depending on the biome. A taiga villager will almost certainly have some difficulty talking with a desert villager. Wandering traders, however, are usually decently familiar with several if not all biome dialects.
• Villager names used to be just things like Wheat, River, Oak etc. However, through linguistic evolution and cultural exchange with other biomes, actual names came into use. For example Gren, a modern name common among snowy biome villagers, actually originates from the name Grain (commonly used by desert villagers) being adapted for pronunciation with a snowy biome accent.
• Herobrine is present in villager folklore in every biome, but each biome's folklore has a completely different version of him.
• In the plains, he's considered a mysterious person with godlike powers, unpredictable and capable of both great benevolence and cruelty.
• In the snowy biome, the legends say he appears to those who are close to death to answer any questions and doubts they may have and ultimately take them away to the afterlife.
• The desert biome has a somewhat similar version of him, but there are some notable differences. It is said he only appears to those who die by getting lost in the desert. Some say he forms from the sand before the dying person's very eyes. Others describe him as "blurry at the edges" and "rapidly blinking in and out of existence", as if he's not quite there.
• The savanna's version of Herobrine is something else entirely. He's said to be a hostile, violent cryptid, more animal than a person. He's usually depicted with tattered clothes and sharp teeth, less commonly with claws.
