Sentinel

An armoured machine that scuttles on ten tentacle legs, swims through the air like a squid, and hunts in swarms.

Sentinels aren't released yet. Their stats and behaviour may still change.

Close to the ground, a Sentinel walks: all ten tentacles find solid footing and step by themselves, half at a time, over slopes, steps and drops. Higher up, it lets go and every tentacle swims like a squid.

When it spots a player within 48 blocks, it runs at them on its legs as fast as a sprinting player. If you take to the air or move fast, it flies after you at up to 20 blocks per second, about as fast as an Elytra glide. Once in reach it strikes down over its own body with its top four tentacles.

Three or more Sentinels close together form a swarm. The swarm roams the sky as a loose, churning flock that keeps its distance. When it finds prey it surrounds it, and two at a time break away to dive in and strike.

Sentinels spawn in the dark on the surface biomes of Desert of the Real, one or two at a time. With Desert of the Real not installed, use the spawn egg or a command.
