Mob C, or "The Great Hunger" was a proposed mob featured in the Mob Vote during MINECON Earth 2017, alongside the barnacle, the phantom and the wildfire.[1]
It was a lizard-like creature that sinks into the ground, camouflages itself and consumes mobs and items with its huge mouth. It has a "great appetite for enchanting powers" and Jeb says that viewers should vote for Mob C because players may be able to use the mob's abilities to add or remove enchantments for players' own items.[2] The ability to remove enchantments was later added in the form of the grindstone block.
The great hunger received 26% of the votes in the first round and moved onto the second,[3] receiving 35% votes, but then lost with 48% of the votes in the final.[4]
