Selkie

╔════════════════════════════╗ Replaces Minecraft drowned ╚════════════════════════════╝

A Selkie, also known as Merperson or Mermaid, is a sentient hostile beast that spawn in bodies of water.

Drops
Selkie drop 0–1 trident if killed by the player.

Behaviour
Selkies have a melee attack and spawn with a trident. They sometimes step onto land, but quickly return to the water. If a Selkie is in any way removed by force from the water, and all nearby water sources have been blocked from it, it becomes passive in daytime. However, it heads to the nearest water source when provided access once again and becomes hostile upon making contact.

During the day, Selkies swim only to attack players that are swimming in the water with them; otherwise, they stay on the floor of the water body they are in, ignoring players on land or in a boat. However, at night, Selkie swim to the surface and chase players, even outside the water. The speed of their swimming is equal to that of the player.

Habitat
Selkie spawn naturally at light level of 7 or less in Merpeople colonies.
