Dunemander:
The Dunemander would be a new addition to the barren Minecraft deserts. It is a salamander-like creature with four lizard-like legs and skin that blends in with the sand. These creatures will be a new threat to face while going through the deserts. During the day, they will be asleep underground, but a particle effect will warn you of their presence. At sunset, they will resurface, attacking all players and rabbits, as well as anything that attacks it. (It will attack you in the day, too, but only if you walk over or near it. When you get out of range, it will go back to sleep.)
