GoatMan

BEHAVIOR
GoatMan randomly settles into one of four "rolls" in Cave Dweller fashion

• Stroll — wanders calmly, eats crops, attacks mobs, mimics nearby mob sounds
• Stare — stalks at the player from a distance, may break into chase or flee depending on interaction
• Chase — pursues the target with charge/pounce attacks
• Flee — runs away and disappears once out of sight

CREEP-STALK MODE
A new stealth mode at spawn (common in caves, rare on surface)

• Silently trails the player from behind 
• Stops moving if the player can see it anywhere on screen, and only resumes creeping once it's out of sight
• Drops into its normal Stare, Chase, or Flee behavior once it gets close enough, or if the player looks directly at it

COMBAT SPECIAL ATTACKS

• Charge — fast directional charge; deals AOE damage, breaks through walls in its path, and has a "shield rush" variant to punish blocking player
• Leap — lunges at the target, arcs across gaps or up ledges, or (if directly overhead) jumps straight up; deals AOE damage and breaks blocks on landing/impact (can sometimes get stuck by its horns on a ceiling)

ABILITIES

• Can destroy and disable player shields: a Charge hit shatters the shield; a Leap hit puts the shield on a temporary cooldown instead, without breaking it
• Charge and Leap attacks inflict Nausea, Weakness, and Blindness on hit
• Breaks blocks on contact, charge, and leaping (don't worry, broken blocks still drop blocks by default)
• Strong knockback on attacks, and high knockback resistance 
• Can swim
• climb walls
• Gets through 1-2 block gaps

TARGETS

• Hunts and kills nearby animals except wolves, iron golems, polar bears, pandas, bees, sniffers, turtles, or anything in water
• Destroys and eats a wide range of crops
• Actively avoids and flees from wolves, villagers, and iron golems
• Attacks isolated villagers, wandering traders, or wolves that have no protectors nearby
• Targets and engages players who get too close or who spot it directly

WEAKNESSES

• Flees from packs of wolves, villagers, and iron golems
• Blocking a Charge with a shield destroys the shield but stuns GoatMan for a few seconds; blocking a Leap only disables the shield temporarily without destroying it
• Will flee mid-chase if set on fire, hurt by another mob, or worn down below 50% HP with a smaller random chance to flee at any time
• Stops moving when spotted during Creep-Stalk, and won't close the distance during Stare if you keep eye contact

SPAWNING & PRESENCE

• Spawns near a targeted player, gated by light level, height, biome, dimension whitelist, and surface vs. cave conditions
• Can summon a herd of goats while hidden/stalking
• Spawns 1–3 goats near players in any biome the GoatMan can spawn as a sign of GoatMan’s territory.

MUSIC, SOUND, & MIMICRY

• Screams when a chase begins
• Dedicated stalking music and chase music (can be turned off in config)
• Mimics the ambient sound of the last mob it killed (or a random nearby mob if it hasn't killed anything), sometimes "slipping" into an off-pitch sound

MISC

• Drops loot (goat horn, rotten flesh, bones, assorted crop seeds, golden apples, golden carrots, and enchanted golden apple)
• Config for almost any feature such as break block, drop block, charge, leap, creep-stalk, herds, omens, music, spawn rates, etc. to be turned on, off, or tweaked (Configured Mod Highly Recommended)
