A talented Minecraft fan has created a unique and frightening work of art based upon the game’s Warden enemies. These menacing creatures were just recently added to the game and look to be one of Minecraft‘s most resilient monster types.

While Minecraft is typically seen as being focused on relaxing, creative gameplay, there are plenty of opportunities for controller-gripping gameplay in the form of the game’s many hostile NPCs. There are surface-level enemies like the pesky Creepers, Drowned, and Zombies, who will often destroy players’ creations if not kept at bay. Things can get a bit more creepy and unsettling as more of the world is explored, however, as more difficult enemies like the Ender Dragon and Wither will pose a real challenge for gamers who aren’t prepared to face them. Some of these monsters types, including Enderman, Husk, and Ghast (the subject of Minecraft‘s Uneasy Alliances achievement) are considered to be quite visually startling by players in addition to posing a considerable threat.

The newly added Warden NPC looks to be carrying on the Minecraft tradition of disturbing monster designs – a fact that was noticed and swiftly capitalized upon by Reddit user Working-Elevator-840. In a post shared to the Minecraft subreddit, Working-Elevator-840 shows off their interpretation of this hulking Lovecraftian beast. The sketch, which appears to have been drawn in either ink or pencil, depicts the faceless monster walking forward, surrounded by some sort of dark void. The only other object in the drawing is a small spider hanging above the Warden’s head.

Minecraft fan art is nothing new, but this illustration will certainly leave a lasting impression on many viewers. Wardens are one of the more intimidating enemies in the game, and this drawing captures much of that in iconic details like the horns, open torso cavity, and general dark coloring. Interestingly enough, Working-Elevator-840 appears to have taken a few creative liberties with its design, making the giant enemy significantly slimmer and more human-like in its body proportions. The Warden in the drawing also looks to be walking much more elegantly than its in-game counterparts, who are blind and have been shown to throw themselves around clumsily.

Design incongruencies aside, this drawing clearly showcases a lot of talent, passion, and creativity. By highlighting the more horrifying and nightmarish elements of Minecraft, Working-Elevator-840 might just help some gamers see the title in a new light. However, many players might prefer to stay away from the Wardens for a while after seeing this scary image.
