Fangs 'n Claws
by raptorzizi
Fangs 'n Claws adds RPG-style monsters with distinct behaviors, from goblins and werewolves to scorpions and skeletons that carry armed loot.
What it does
The mod brings new hostile creatures into the world, each with a role of its own. Goblins fight in groups and steal items from the inventory, Ogres are slow and hit hard, and Evil bats add a flying nuisance. Werewolves appear as villagers until night, Wolves hunt in packs led by an alpha, and Scorpions climb walls. Ghosts wander the Overworld at night and the Nether. Creatures drop new materials, including Fur for a Fur armor set.
Spawning and creature stats can be changed through the mod settings and gamerules, so server owners can adjust how common each monster is. The mod is inspired by Mo Creatures and DrZhark. It requires Geckolib to run. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across eight game versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Goblins with blowguns
Goblins attack in groups from range with blowgun darts that inflict Venom, scrambling the target's controls.
Werewolves in disguise
Werewolves pass as villagers at night, then bite to cause Bleeding and take half damage from weapons, but are vulnerable to silver.
Skeletons with armor
Armored skeletons carry two silver swords, attack quickly and drop a prized weapon when defeated.
Scorpions and Ogres
Scorpions climb walls and sting with a venomous stinger that causes Nausea. Ogres slam the ground and destroy nearby blocks.
