Villager (Minecraft)

Villagers are a passive mob in minecraft that inhabit NPC villages. They are characterized by their large heads, unibrows, and long nose. A combination of freatures that has earned them the nickname Squidwards. Villagers live a relatively quite life of farming, and study however, when night falls they quickly hide behind their doors to protect themselves from the Zombies that roam the night. Due to this constant threat is not uncommon (on hardmode, and Hardcore) to find entire villages zombified. A village priest will usually construct an Iron Golem to defend the village against such assults, a possible reference to the legend of the Golem in Jewish Folklore. Villagers can be traded with inorder to aquire tools, armor, enchantments, and food. These may be barter based trades (one item for another), or done via Emeralds, which act as the village currency. Villagers can be found holding a number of professions; Blacksmith, Butcher, Farmer, Librarian, and Priest; all of which effect the trades avalable to players.
