Poll: Deadliest Minecraft creature

[Drummodino]

Yes I know the creeper is terrifying. He/she (it?) really is. But personally I find the spiders are now just deadly. They can freakin see through walls! They climb up on your roof and you can't get them without letting them nibble on your face. So I ask you: what is the deadliest Minecraft creature?

 

[GiantRaven]

Skeletons or Ghasts as they are the only two creatures with ranged weapons. Probably Ghasts as they are completely impossible to kill with melee attacks (and even with your bow as they tend to float out of your range).

It's the spider jockey.

Oh crap I forgot ghasts. I'll add them to the poll. I haven't done much in the nether.

Hit their bombs back at them. Easy.

SPIDERS ARE THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

None of them are dangerous, provided you have a bucket of lava...

 

[DuplicateValue]

Skeletons are the only ones that trouble me, I can dispatch the rest easy enough.

Especially in SMP it's tough to get them without taking a bunch of damage.

AMEN to that

 

[Trippy Turtle]

dumb pigs get me drowned while im not watching . but otherwise spiders... they attack through stone doors.

It's hellish I tell you! Hellish!

Hit their bombs back at them. Easy.

I fail so hard at that like you wouldn't even believe.

HAHAH bad luck, I fuck it up occasionally and get the floor blasted out... where I immediately plummet into the lava below, but fucking spiders *looks around crazily* they get in from everywhere... I HATE THEM.

The rest you can run from easy, Spiders can chase you down even if you're trying to get away. Always have more trouble with them than anything else.

 

[greenflash]

Ghasts are EVIL. They are like gaint flying creeper guns.

 

[Johnny Cain]

The Creeper is dangerous but when you're wearing armour it's suicide blast isn't that bad and I actually end up employing them to clear hills in the way of progress.

The real danger is Spiders. This is from the perspective of someone who now plays exclusively on a survival multi-player server. Latency issues betray how fast Spider's actually move, and unlike zombies there is no delay between there attacks.
If a Spider is standing remotely near you, it will hit you again and again and again, dozens of times in about three seconds. Armour gets whittled and you get thrown everywhere.
Between aggregating damage and flying off cliffs, Spiders cause the most anguish after dark, in my experiences.

 

[Watchmacallit]

Spiders are annoying...thats why I built a lava moat... MUHAHAHAHAHA.

 

[Ymbirtt]

It's clearly the pig. I mean, watch what happened when this guy tried to ride one:

Bahahaha damn pigs

 

[DasDestroyer]

Lava. When a normal monster tries to kill you it takes some time, but lava pretty much insta-kills you and destroys your stuff.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Ghasts, because they're so hard to hit and generally freak me out.

 

[Thyunda]

My vote still lies with the Creeper. Spiders I don't have so much problem with. Creepers, on the other hand, I end having to bury and signposting their prison. DO NOT DIG.

Of course, some idiot still dug down there, and the Creeper rushed into our carefully built Sanctuary and destroyed the better wall.

Spiders...nah. They crawl around outside, but they're easy enough to kill.
