The John

A rare creature, colloquially known as "John." Its origins are completely unknown. As far as what we do know, well, very few have ever lived to tell the tale. Its skin is extremely thin and almost completely white. With two mouths, one on its torso and the other on its head, the humanoid creature is known for ripping its victims apart and consuming their husks simultaneously. Its face bears a striking resemblance to that of a crying man, its mouth wide open, constantly emitting a piercing cry, all with a constant stream of bloody tears coming from its soulless eyes. It preys on fear and will often toy with its victims before it strikes. They are fast, strong, efficient, and brutal. Do not approach.

John Sub Type 1: Sprinting John

Just like its usual variant, the Sprinting John is remarkably dangerous. Physically it is nearly identical to regular Johns, with the difference being implied in its name. These variants will charge at their prey the second they detect them, they have a certain affinity for the hunt, they seem to act as though they enjoy the chase. They are extremely fast, no human can outrun them. If it sees you, you can only hide and pray it doesn't find you. Keep in mind they aren't particularly intelligent, and are easily confused. If needed, use this to your advantage. Do not approach.

John Sub Type 2: Hugging John

Some theorize this and some other variants are made from the remnants of tortured souls previously hunted by other Johns. This would explain their "hugging" motions, as if they're trying to cling onto whatever humanity, if any, is left in them. Though this is not proven. They constantly extend their arms as if to greet you in a warm embrace, but do not be fooled. If their freakish demeanor wasn't enough to scare you off, if they grab you, there is no going back. You will be dead before you realize what's happening. As long as you don't get too close, you should live. In any case, do not approach.

John Sub Type 3: Weeping John

Similarly to the aforementioned Hugging John, some theorize this variant is made from the remnants of tortured souls previously hunted by other Johns. Instead of clinging to their humanity, like their counterparts, these variants would have given up all hope and succumbed to their horrific state. They cry more than all their counterparts, perhaps in an effort to appeal to one's empathy in order to lure them in. But do not be fooled. The second you avert your gaze, they will strike. They are fast and extremely dangerous when you aren't looking. If you see one, do not look away, do not make a sound, and most importantly, do not blink. This variant can be killed if you follow these steps. If you see one, do not run; follow these instructions.

Other notes

• When first spawned it is completely still. He will not move when players are not near. He will run towards you but will freeze when looked at. And the crosshair has to be directly over him for him not too move. He moves quick and hits hard doing 3 hearts of damage. It also can only see you from half the distance of a normal john, that being 25 blocks.
