Dungeon Critters
by Dashy22
Dungeon Critters adds four hostile mobs for Forge and NeoForge 1.20.1, each inspired by creatures from other dungeon-crawling games, and it needs Geckolib.
What it does
The mod spawns four mobs in dungeon-style settings, based on creatures the author came up with after playing games in that genre. Its stated goal is to add more threats with a sense of danger. Several mobs are described in more detail on the project page, including their behavior and what they drop when killed.
Mushroom islands hold large living mushrooms, which come in brown and red types. Brown mushrooms are rarer, and the red ones strike with lightning. A mushroom can spray poisonous gas at the player, so retreating is the safer choice. Killing one may drop mushroom blocks, mushroom meat or toxic spores. Other mobs are stone creatures controlled like puppets, which appear in deep dark dripstone caves and drop echo shards on death, and stone statues that stand in ruined structures underground, similar to strongholds. Dungeon Critters requires Geckolib, and the mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it.

How it compares
Silly Critters is a Forge mob mod for 1.20.1 with the same client and server environment and an All rights reserved license. Souene is also Forge-only for 1.20.1, with client and server environment and All rights reserved license. Dungeon Critters covers a single version and loader pair, so it shares that scope with both.
