Sup everyone! I'm back with yet another MB Proposal, this time we have a creepy crawly boi.
What is the work?
Dan Bull is a music producer known for his songs relating to video games, with his most notable works being the songs relating to Minecraft, such as the Creeper and Skeleton raps.
Who is he?
The Spider is the main antagonist of the song "Bull is the Spider". He is, as his name suggests, a spider who also happens to be a rather smart and sophisticated gentlemen, his main goal throughout the song is to kill the protagonist.
What Makes Him Magnificent?
He has a rather affable and sophisticated personality while also lacking the ego, pettiness and ax-crazy nature of the other mobs.
Creates a contraption with pistons that causes the floor to open up under the protagonist, causing them to fall through.
He scares the protagonist with the help of his spider bretheren, causing him to run directly into his Minecart trap, causing him to fly up into the air and then be knocked out.
He creates a potion of poison and proceeds to drink it before applying the effect to the protagonist via biting him with his now venemous fangs, causing him to have many wacky visions before eventually dying.
What Makes Him a Baddie?
He sat up an eleborate trap all with the goal of eventually killing the protagonist, extracting his organs and burying him, something of which he succeeds at.
He is implied to have a mass body count on his hands as he mentions how "many a brave knight gave a brave fight" with a knight standing upon a piles of bones.
Is he too much of a baddie?
Well while some of the imagery in this song may be too disturbing if applied to a real life context, as this is a Minecraft animation, the gross aspects are massively toned down, plus it's not like he takes any real sadism in what he's doing. And while there is the high kill count, him killing countless knights is a brief line and scene that is quickly glossed over and isn't really all the plot relevant, with more focus being on the magnificent aspects and how the Spider managed to make an unsuspecting player all into his elaborate trap and eventually kill him.
Competition?
There are of course several other mobs for the Spider to have competition with, but as I mentioned, many of them are either, petty, ax-crazy, some of them are for the evulz (the Creeper) and most of them lack any real cunning, unlike the Spider here who orchestrated an entire elaborate scheme to kill the player.
Verdict?
It's a yes from me
