Minecraft has revealed the Bogged, a new Skeleton variant coming to the game. The community is very mixed about the arrival of this new enemy, despite new enemies being something many have wanted.
The Bogged’s arrival is something no one had anticipated from Minecraft. On Valentine’s Day, they released numerous media talking about and showcasing the Bogged creature. There really isn’t a lot to talk about, however, as it is simply a Skeleton that shoots poison arrows, like how the Stray is simply a Skeleton that shoots Arrows that slow you down.
The Bogged will spawn in Swamp biomes but also in the Trial Chambers, the latest structure coming to Minecraft. This will certainly make them much more challenging, as no matter your armor, the poison will seep right through.
I personally think they look super cool, and that they are a welcome addition to the game.
However, many have regarded this as a slap in the face. Minecraft is happy to release what is essentially a Skeleton clone with a couple differences rather than adding one of the many mobs that didn’t make the cut in prior mob votes.
For months now, the community have been practically begging for a new mob that either is from an old mob vote, drops more than nothing, and / or is practically useful. And the Bogged is what Minecraft has to show for itself.
Players are underwhelmed and disappointed.
