== Trivia ==
* In its [[Minecraft:Mob Menagerie]], [[Minecraft:shulker]]s were implied to be molluscs, a group of real-life invertebrate animals that include squid, glow squid, and nautiluses, given the nature of their shells.<ref>[https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/shulker Mob Menagerie: Shulker]</ref>
* In its Mob Menagerie, [[Minecraft:phantom]]s real-world parallel was stated to be [[Minecraft:bat]]s, as well as mentions of the extinct pterosaur, {{Wikipedia|quetzalcoatlus}}.<ref>[https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/phantom Mob Menagerie: Phantom]</ref>
