Bosses

Fourteen named bosses across the survival worlds, plus twenty-one roaming creatures that are not bosses at all.

A boss is a normal Minecraft mob - a ravager, a husk - wearing a custom model. The mob underneath is still the hitbox, so if you can hit the model, you are hitting the boss. You will also see its level and name floating above it.

Bosses come in three kinds, and they behave very differently.

Region bosses

Seven bosses, one per Survival1 region. Each is announced when it spawns, carries a health bar, and respawns 30 minutes after it dies.

Boss	Region	Level	Health	Damage
Horncrown, the Verdant Bull	Verdant Plains	10	280	20
Sunstorm Sandworm	Sunstorm Desert	15	400	28
The Starving Cold	Evergreen Wilds	20	480	35
Pyrewing, the Ashen Wyrm	Ashen Expanse	25	450	38
Frostpeak Yeti	Frostpeak Range	35	350	25
Maelstrom of Mistvale	Mistvale Coast	44	250	18
Mistvale Leviathan	Mistvale Coast	45	350	25

Notice the two Mistvale bosses. The region has a pair, not one.

Hidden bosses

Seven more bosses exist that are never announced. Each has a 3% chance to appear when its region rolls a spawn, and they respawn 60 minutes after death.

They are also much stronger than anything else at their level:

Boss	Region	Level	Health	Damage
Aurel Hydra	Aurel Coast	5	400	25
Verdant Chimera	Verdant Plains	10	450	28
Sunstorm Sphinx	Sunstorm Desert	20	650	40
Evergreen Leshy	Evergreen Wilds	25	800	50
Ashen Ifrit	Ashen Expanse	30	750	45
Frostpeak Bigfoot	Frostpeak Range	40	600	35
Mistvale Jörmungandr	Mistvale Coast	50	600	35

The Jörmungandr is the largest creature on the server, and the Bigfoot is second. Being enormous is not just decoration - a bigger model means a bigger hitbox, which means it is easier to hit and harder to walk around.

These are the bosses a party is built for. Anyone in a party who comes within 24 blocks of a live hidden boss drags the whole party in - see Parties.

The Sunstorm Pharaoh

An eighth hidden boss exists in the files and is switched off. It was designed to arrive with the Sphinx following it into the fight, which is why the Sphinx has a 0% chance to roll on its own

it was only ever meant to appear alongside the Pharaoh.

Until the Pharaoh is enabled, the Sphinx cannot spawn at all.

Roaming creatures

Twenty-one creatures roam the regions. They are not bosses: no announcement, no health bar, no respawn timer. They are simply the region's wildlife, and they are a great deal stronger than the vanilla mobs around them.

Region	Creatures	Levels
Aurel Coast	Reef Stalker, Tideclaw, Storm Harpy	3-5
Verdant Plains	Horned Boar, Razorclaw, Behemoth	6-10
Sunstorm Desert	Dune Scorpion, Desert Ghoul, Sand Wraith	12-18
Evergreen Wilds	Dire Wolf, Forest Troll, Ancient Treant	17-25
Ashen Expanse	Ash Ghoul, Magma Hound, Obsidian Golem	22-30
Frostpeak Range	Icebound Wolf, Frost Wraith, Ice Giant	32-39
Mistvale Coast	Siren, Sea Serpent, Isonade	42-46

A few have habits worth knowing:

The Reef Stalker never leaves water, and the Tideclaw never leaves sand.
The Storm Harpy only appears at night.
Each region keeps a limited number alive at once - two to six depending on the creature - so you

cannot farm one spot forever.

A note on sounds

Every creature on this list roars. The bigger ones are loud enough that you will hear them before you see them, which is usually the first warning you get.
