Hominid - noun - a primate of a family that includes humans.
Hominid is a small mod featuring the long gone humans of the Minecraft world. It focuses on both adding new, and tweaking existing player-like skeletons and zombies.
These new monsters bring some variation to combat and can make certain biomes more challenging, while also making the mobs better fit their environment. Hominids will vary in rarity and behaviour, which means they can each provide different threats.

Mobs:
Mellified - adjective - preserved or saturated in honey, often referring to an ancient practice of embalming or medicinal preparation.
The Mellified been covered in honey for so long that it hasn't decomposed and is quite well preserved. Bees hate it. When hit, honey will splatter from the Mellified’s skin and apply the new “Honeyed” effect to any nearby enemy, which causes health regeneration while also disabling any negative status effects (players can access this effect through honey bottles). The Mellified spawns in the following biomes:
Meadow
Cherry Grove
Flower Forest
Birch Forest
Incendiary - adjective - designed to cause fires.
The Incendiary is a dangeous new zombie that carries around a gasoline tank. When it spots you it will catch fire, running faster than the average player to deal high damage hits that set you alight. The Incendiary spawns in the following biomes:
Taiga
Snowy taiga
Old growth Spruce Taiga
Old growth Pine taiga
Windswept Hills
Grove
Famished - adjective - very hungry.
The Famished is a thin mob that spawns in barren environments with very little food. They will instantly eat any animal they see (this includes horses, which they will first turn into zombie horses then skeleton horses). Upon seeing an animal, or a player holding meat, the Famished will start aggressively chasing it until it has been devoured. It spawns in the following biomes:
Dripstone Caves
Stony Peaks
Jagged Peaks
Frozen Peaks
Snowy Slopes
Desert
Badlands
Juggernaut - noun - An unstoppable and overwhelming force
Many of the Minecraft Dungeons heroes still roam the overworld, just in a different form. The Juggernaut is one of them. Their sturdy armor deflects projectiles, and their powerful gauntlets deal heavy damage and knockback. Make use of your speed advantage to not get cornered! The Juggernaut rarely replaces zombies in all biomes.
Fossilised - adjective - preserved in a hardened form over time, typically through mineralization, as a remnant of a past organism or structure.
Fossilised is a strange hominid-like creature that roams around caves and fossil rich biomes. It’s the mineralized imprint of a skeleton, and it appears to have taken its mannerisms as it throws rock slabs like frisbees at players, dealing very high damage. Fossilised can be brushed for the special remains armor trim, resembling a skeleton once applied on armor. Fossilised spawns in the following biomes:
Desert Swamp Mangrove Swamp Dripstone Cave Lush Cave Badlands Eroded Badlands Wooded Badlands
