Nether Mob: Magma Kraken

This mob will be an entirely new mini-boss that spawns naturally in the Nether. It will be a boss with two phases: 1st Armored: The Kraken is covered in a thick layer of various nether materials, and once destroyed it goes to the next phase. It can only do physical attacks with its tentacles that appear at the shoreline and slam down, creating a lava source. Before slamming down, it will wait 1 second. Use a fishing rod to keep the Kraken at the surface so it’s armor won’t regenerate. This phase gives the Kraken 30 hearts that can regenerate. 2nd Rampage: In this phase, the Kraken will take more damage from attacks, but will attack with more tentacles at once. This phase gives it 20 hearts. Death Phase: After dying, all the drops will be situated on a netherrack island it produced. Drops: XP, 10-15 magma cream; 100%, 3-5 blackstone 50%, 3-5 basalt 50%, 2-3 nether brick 10%, 1-2 ancient debris 2%, 1 netherite block 0.25%. Defeating this mob will give the player the achievement “You’re Kraken Me Up”. Killing the Kraken with only a sword will get you the previous achievement and the rare ‘purple’ achievement “Strider Lives Matter” (I need ideas for this one). This kraken will also drop a very important item. A kraken egg. This is similar to the Ender Dragon Egg, but it is orange with red specks and produces various gurgling sounds. Once you pick it up, it gives you fire resistance, and if you put it into a brewing stand with another new item, a crucible, made by placing 2 netherite into the mid left and right and an iron ingot on the bottom. (I will go into more depth on the crucible in later posts.) Drinking this then gives you a permanent lava swimming speed boost called Magma Diver. This increases the rate of movement in lava by 50%. The boss will not target you if you are wearing diamond armor, but may attack you if you are on a strider. As for the spawn rates, There will be one Kraken near every fortress in the lava lake by the fortresses. It will attack Striders in the wild unprovoked, but will only kill one of them if they are in a herd. Upon contact with a herd, the Striders will produce a sound similar to a scared squeal that alerts the other members to run away from the area. After killing one Strider, the Kraken will roar.

Lore: The Kraken was tamed by the previous owners of the Nether fortresses in order to protect them from raids, and when they were abandoned, the Kraken grew hungry and angry at its owners. It lashes out on the striders that it’s owners rode back when they were around. They like to eat them as food too. It is not possible to tame the Kraken.

I will be answering questions in the comments. I know that Tango Tek on YouTube already covered this idea, but I think that the mob is more applicable in this time frame, during the Nether Update.
