Animal (Mini-Series)

This page lists vanilla animal mobs that appeared in the Minecraft Mini-Series, but no are exclusive and in most cases are not important to the plot.

Cave spiders are hostile arthropods inhabiting the mineshaft of Birch Island. Unlike the base game counterpart, these spiders do not cause Poison on attack, but can attack in swarms as a group of them landed over Toby and bit him repeatedly.

• The Abandoned Mineshaft

Chickens are flightless birds that appeared as the target of hungry participants in The First Night trying to hunt for them. They later appeared on Eerie Island as farm animals and, as members of the farm monsters, become hostile at nighttime. However, unlike the other animals, chickens do not undergo any visual transformation. In The Finale, a large group of chickens were seen playing with participants. CommuniKate, however, shows a fear of chickens as lots of them gathered to her.

During her quest to obtain the fourth enchanted ender eye in Stagecraft, CommuniKate revealed that, when she was little, she played the role of a chicken in a school play. Her poor performance caused her fear of chickens. Later, when she was trying to execute a self-destruct command on the command block statue, she accidentally summoned a bunch of chickens and despawned them out of fear.

Cows are passive animals inhabiting the haunted farm. Like other farm animals, they turn into infernal cows during nighttime and attack the contestants, but come back to normal when day comes. In The Sham, Durango was so frightened he mistook a cow for an infernal cow after he said "steak", claiming to it that he merely wanted a stick.

Donkeys appeared when CommuniKate and the members of the three remaining teams rode to a challenge, alongside a caravan of llamas.

Polar bears are animals living on Scatter Island's mountains in the background. Near the end of The Challenge of Ice and Magma, Zed was seen being targeted by a polar bear due to him being near a cub.

• The Challenge of Ice and Magma

Sheep are wooly animals that often appear in the background. One was rescued from a cliffside by River during the participants' first night on Birch Island. Later, they roamed the farm as "useless farm animals" until they turn into mummy sheep during nighttime and become hostile.

Sheep have a golden variant that appeared in Poseidon's Game but served no particular purpose other than proving Poseidon's power.

• The First Night
• The Well Wisher (episode)

Spiders are hostile arthropods that appeared in the first challenge alongside skeletons, chasing Rudi and Sacha as they tried to hunt a chicken.

A squid appeared when CommuniKate and Zed were sailing boats to the command block, knocking the latter off his boat.
