The Wandering Murder

The mob is only summoned after a player kills a wandering trader, and it then seeks the player out to take revenge. It is built as a horror-style threat, meant to stand apart from the usual weaknesses of hostile mobs, so it cannot be dealt with simply by pillaring or swimming away. A summon event called Trader's Onslaught makes the attacks slightly deadlier while it is active. Killing the murderer rewards the player with the Gilded Emerald Cleaver, and afterward a new wandering trader becomes available to trade with. Players who survive the chase gain a sword and a new trade, which ties the mob into the existing trading system.
