Ghast
Hostile · Nether
Ghasts are enormous, jellyfish-like mobs that float through the Nether emitting mournful cries. Despite having very low health, their fireball explosions are extremely destructive to terrain and players. They are one of the few mobs whose projectiles can be reflected back at them.
Health
10 HP (5 hearts)
Spawns in
All Nether biomes except Nether Wastes (light-level-independent); requires a 5×4×5 space; spawns alone
Behavior
Drifts slowly and periodically fires explosive fireballs (explosion power 1, but blast radius can cause large environmental damage). Fireballs can be deflected back at the ghast by hitting them with any attack or projectile, which instantly kills a ghast. Cries audibly and becomes hostile on sight.
