i personally like the Enderman, and Notch's original ideas for it. it's creepy, but not too creepy.
i would like them to build things like small houses or monuments to kinda show you that they're nearby, so you can stay careful not to startle them. also, to make them creepier, i think their idle sounds should sound like soft whispering, like they're communicating to each other...but creepily...
also, i think that if you stepped into a large grouping of them (without angering them), they should once in a while just stare at you, like other mobs, just to tell you that they are somewhat aware of your presence. then they'll just go back to building monuments and stuff....
it'd be kinda funny to wake up one morning and look out your window, and being like "heh, that's a cool building over there....wait! where'd my 1st floor go?! Gah! they took my blocks!"
That's more scary than creepy. Notch wanted something would make you back off slowly and cautiously, not turn and sprint in the other direction.
IMO, creep is right before scary. Creepy is the thing that prepares us for scary. When you turn slowly and look around you, you're creeped out. When you wheel in every direction with all possible speed, you're scared.
yea but the creepyness factor may go away once you know the enderman is going to spawn.
idk but I still freak out when i see a creeper running towards me. creepers are creepy, idk if notch can top that

I shoot my arrows in the air sometimes saying ay-oh, creeper's KO'd
But... I don't see any mouths on them in Notch's screenshot. Just a completely featureless, black face, except for it's pure white eyes.

If it takes 10 minutes it'll already be morning by the time it comes back. How about 30 seconds to a minute? 10 minutes is way too long and the player will be bored by that time.
You haven't even played against one yet! How can you criticize and be 'not impressed' by something that you have never faced? Let's just wait until it is released and see if it needs to be made creepier first.
i completly agree. to make it creepier, when your not looking, your paintings could knock themselve down, making it seem like the enderman was IN your house.
This is kind of ridiculous. If you haven't played with an enderman, don't say you don't like them. You don't know the manner of how they'll fight, or how fast they run, or how far they can teleport, so how the heck would you know whether or not they're creepy. And, your suggestion may sound decent, but you have to realize this will happen more than once, and you also have no idea how rare endermen are, so if they were common, that would just be incredibly irritating. Don't judge what you don't know.
I'd find it creepier if looking at them bent the screen like a nether portal, that way the longer you looked at it, the worse it would be when you finally looked away. There's a much better thread for this about 5 topics down actually :/

I sense more than a little trolling in that post. I don't see how it's like the spider in any way, shape, or form.
Not true.
Spiders and Endermen are both colored black.

Awesome ideas, and yes, a tad creepy, but awesome nonetheless.
As long as you dont look at them...

Wait until endermen come out before making suggestions to improve behaviors. Making a suggestion for an entirely new thing is different, however.

Thus, no. No support from me.
