Vanilla Mob Minibosses

An early game boss that is very agile shoots poison arrows and drops leaves on your head. Leather Armor & Wooden Weapons are recommended to defeat him. 42 HP

Spawning:

Craftable Spawn Egg, and a 10% chance to replace normal pillagers in raids. Natureologers that join raids won't target other illagers with their attacks.

Basic Attack:

Shoots poison arrows from his crossbow.

Special Attacks:

Leaf Drop: Drops a leaf on 3 random nearby mobs. He will use this twice. Falling leaves deal 6 damage on impact.

Leaf Storm: Drops 4 leaves in the cardinal directions and shoots 4 poison arrows in the diagonal directions.

Other Abilities:

In between attacks he will occasionally sidestep to the left or right.

When hit he will dodge the next incoming attack for 1.5 seconds, indicated by smoke particles.

Strategy:

Avoid being too aggressive and trying to combo him, he will dodge your attacks.

Instead take it slow and attack him when he does not have the smoke particles.

Drops:

25% chance to drop a poison arrow, and drops his mask (see natureologer mask)

Another early game boss that is much bulkier and deadlier than the natureologer, but less agile. 42 HP

The Knightlander deals 0 damage with his normal attacks.

If Pehkui is installed he will be 2.5 blocks tall.

Spawning:

Craftable Spawn Egg, Raids (Same odds as Natureologer), and are attracted to players that hoard too much loot

Special Attacks:

Lunge: Charge forward dealing 2x his weapon damage. He will use this twice

Snipe: Switches to his bow which deals 12 damage. This is indicated by a red laser beam before firing.

Other Abilities:

Knightlander becomes faster and only uses Snipe when there are no mobs within 12 blocks of him.

Strategy:

Attack Knightlander while he is charging up his attacks or after he finishes an attack. Later on a bow and arrow can be used to easily defeat him.

After a lunge attack he tends to turn his back around for a brief second, take advantage of this with modded items that can backstab

Drops:

Normal Vindicator Drops + a chance to drop his amethyst sword, The Knightlander, or his armor

The main mob of the mod, this devastating brute was once a normal piglin captured by the wither skeletons to be corrupted into a unholy being. Luckily he was saved by his fellow piglins before the transformation was complete, giving him wither powers!
