The Minecraft: Mobestiary is a Minecraft book authored by Alex Wiltshire and illustrated by Anton Stenvall. In the book, a character known as the Naturalist explains how each mob works in detail according to his perspective in the Minecraft world. Most of the writing focuses on the in-game mechanics of each mob, but it occasionally references things from outside the game, such as the killer bunny being "immortalized in a popular comedic play", TNT in the anatomy of a creeper, the superstition of the chicken being a spy, and the origins of endermites being from between dimensions. There are also dissections of some of the mobs showing organs, bones, gas, magma, gears, and/or redstone depending on the mob.

Synopsis

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • The sketch showing the anatomy of the creeper was likely based on official Minecraft merchandise created by JINX.[1]
    • In Minecraft Dungeons, there is an anatomical model showing the same anatomy.
    • Even though the two sources mentioned above and more show creepers to have TNT inside their body, the official Brickheadz Lego set shows a creeper having a TNT in its head.[2]
  • The spy-chicken superstition mentioned by the Naturalist originated from a Minecraft Alpha tutorial video made by Paul Soares Jr.[3]
    • In the beginning of the video, Paul was in a cave along with a chicken that seemed to watch him. Though he never mentioned it being a spy in the video itself, he jokingly stated in several comments on the video that the chicken was a spy sent by Saruman and that it had to be executed.
  • Several pieces of artwork from the book were auctioned off as part of a charity event.[4]
