The sandbox game Minecraft continues to expand and the latest reveal is a new hostile mob. It's called "The Bogged" and is a new poison skeleton mob that will be added in the upcoming 1.21 Update. It's available now in testing as well.
Here's a bit about it from the official announcement, along with a look in the video above:
"The bogged is a new skeleton variant that fires poison-tipped (cupids?) arrows. You can sometimes find the bogged in the trial chambers (coming with the 1.21 Update), as well as elsewhere in Minecraft. If you’re really keen to set up a date with them, perhaps take a wander into the swamp or mangrove swamp!

"Just like skeletons, the bogged is an undead mob, so sunlight is a big red flag (as in “it sets the bogged on fire” red). Also, unlike the skeletons, its arrows are poison-tipped, which means they’ll leave you with a lovely poisoned effect, turning your health bar a romantic green color!"
Minecraft has also recently received some new Universal Studios DLC. Here are some details about it from the official website:
"It’s finally time to open the blocky gates to the all-new Universal Studios Experience DLC! A wild Minecraft adventure map that combines legendary attractions and experiences inspired by Universal Destinations & Experiences around the world, but also throughout the theme parks’ history! They are fun, they are fast, and they are all ready for you to virtually enjoy!"
What do you think of the new mob? How about the new Universal Studios Experience DLC? Let us know in the comments.

Don't think I have ever seen a story on NL sit this long with zero comments! I thought Minecraft was a big deal too
Wow a skeleton reskin, whatever will they do next?
A mob the same, if not worse than Witches?
Just great!
@Dazman this is the 2nd time the skeleton has been reskinned. Guess they want to balance the amount of zombie variants lmao
So a mob like the Ice Skeleton or the Drowned water Zombies or the Desert Zombies. But it's a Swamp Skeleton.
So that's a 4th Skeleton after regular/jockey, Wither, Ice, Swamp.
Can you tell why we Minecraft fans don't care. Is poison arrows cool, yes, more so than other games no, a Swamp Skeleton, not exciting in design make something else in a short period of time Mojang than a 4th Skeleton alongside your 4th/5th Zombie.
Mojang are out of ideas or too lazy. Autocrafting and the wind mob are all I cared for with this update the rest maybe quality of life but otherwise eh it's pretty pathetic, till copper has more uses then a lightning rod to avoid wool or maybe redstone or copper armour (cough modded) or anything more exciting, the armadillo wolf armour is kind of useful but not cool enough then more you could do with an armadillo.
Mojang have so few exciting ideas, even the pouch was 'fine' but backpacks in mods are just chests on the go, a Mojang spin is fine but so tedious to use and eh Rabbit hide, even more tedious to get even if a use for the idea then cow leather crafting it to (or use rotten flesh modded). There is a reason people mod the game.
Minecraft may be the a popular game but the updates suck most of the time.
