apparently in the myth, they bred quickly and made a giant flock, but heracles killed them all. plus did we forget that the eat people, are able to shoot their metallic feathers at you, and have poisonous dung?
I'm not actually familiar with this (which isn't much of a surprise). They sound very promising. Especially in the way of murdering me.

the stymphalian birds also flew in flocks, it's gonna be so hard to fight them. also if hydra is gonna be added, may i suggest adding his siblings, or at least the cool ones. that means cerberus, orthrus, and ladon (serpentine dragon that gaurds the golden apple tree), and the nemean lion
it would be cool if stymphalian birds were added.The StymphalianBirds are man-eating birds with beaks of bronze, sharp metallic feathers they could launch at their victims, and poisonous dung
This is going to be my first "structured" suggestion, and it isn't for any specific creature so to say. So whether or not it would fit in this mod idk, but I wanted to suggest it!
Disclaimer:
My goal when making a suggestion is coming up with something that sounds cool in theory. In no way am I considering the trouble of coding it and actually bringing it to reality. Also it is important to note that nothing stated is intended to be a "bundle" bits, pieces, and alternatives will most likely be offered. The hope is the ideas will not only be found "interesting" but strike ideas upon others to improve or come up with even better ones.
Backstory:
After messing with /tellraw, glint.png (enchantment color), and item nbt, I came up with an idea that I found intriguing. An idea that was rough for sure, but I felt it could be smoothed out. You see I was messing with faking chat messages, and I wasn't sure who to fake. So what did I end up deciding on? A sword. I made these chat messages appear as my sword was talking, yes I strange I know (don't judge >.<). Example:
From this I sparked an idea: what if the sword was "possessed" by some sort of spirit, or perhaps trapped instead by the wielder if you will. That brought me to the nbt part. I could easily fake attributes and what not with lore and stuff. Thus this was born:
I wasn't very creative on the specifics of the benefits, so I went with the default of... more damage! As you can see in the orange text, it states that it is "inhabited" that is to say that there is a spirit (or whatever) is in the sword. Of course the idea is no where limited to that, you could give plenty of benefits such as: speed, health, knockback resist etc. It doesn't have to be limited to attributes of course you could new abilities such as "wind gusts" from sword swings or cleaves... it doesn't really matter specifics are not my thing!
Also because I didn't want the basic enchant glint I gave it a red one (color doesn't really matter, just wanted more of a visual). Though I've got no idea if that's possible in the modding field.
The Idea:
I want some sort of mob such as a spirit or a wisp that can be trapped inside of one's equipment (whether by choice or force). I was leaning more towards a "wisp type thing" because they're less human (or are they? I didn't do my research... xD). While inside the equipment they can grant benefits and/or disadvantages depending on their "personality". (Ex. an angry one could grant more damage at the cost of dealing some damage to yourself. Or an unhappy one might try and "hop" out of your inventory when you weren't even looking) Additionally, depending on your "relationship" with these entities you could choose to release them to fight in their "physical" form (they are ghostly...). Of course, if you badly treat them or they simply hate you it isn't recommended to let them out. For they could not only run away but also turn on you when you need their assistance most.
Personality Examples (no where near set in stone):
Loyal - The most ideal "well-rounded" one. So long as you respect them and treat it well they will return if released without trouble.
Mischievous - They have no wish of getting you killed, but harming you isn't out of the question. If released they will attempt to play childish games of "hide and seek" or "tag", causing you to waste ample amounts of time retrieving them.
Defiant - They want to be free, as simple as that. These ones will cause you plenty of trouble.
Tricksters - They will act compliant, but upon releasing them they will bolt away.
ETC. I could spend hours with examples.
NOTE: They are not necessarily limited to a single personality!
They can speak to the player when certain criteria is met (this acts as a private message).
As non-trapped mobs...
I'll expand on this idea later, my eyes are tired and the forums formatting is getting very annoying. I know it's not professional! But I'm a pro-fashional not a professional. ;3
awesome idea man. i think it would be cool if you put your pet's soul when they die inside of the tool and that would give special abilities like if you put a fire dragon's soul in it you can shoot fire balls, etc.
