'''Mob C''', or "'''The Great Hunger'''" was a proposed [[Minecraft:mob]] featured in the [[Minecraft:2017 Mob Vote|Mob Vote]] during [[Minecraft:MINECON Earth 2017]], alongside the [[Minecraft:barnacle]], the [[Minecraft:phantom]] and the [[Minecraft:wildfire]].<ref>{{mcnet|announcing-minecon-earth|Announcing...

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.<ref>{{tweet|Minecraft|930797685497622528|MINECON Earth's Mob Vote approaches!
