Minecraft:The Great Hunger

Mob C, or "The Great Hunger" was a proposed Minecraft:mob featured in the Mob Vote during Minecraft:MINECON Earth 2017, alongside the Minecraft:barnacle, the Minecraft:phantom and the Minecraft:wildfire.<ref>Template:Mcnet</ref>

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>Template:Tweet</ref> It was colored green and gray.<ref name="MineCon Earth">Template:Reddit</ref> The ability to remove enchantments was later added in the form of the Minecraft:grindstone block.

The great hunger received 26% of the votes in the first round and moved onto the second,<ref>Template:Tweet</ref> receiving 35% votes, but then lost with 48% of the votes in the final.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>
