Oerkki

In older versions of Minetest, the oerkki were hostile mobs that appeared only in dark places. They spawned underground, but had a low percentage of spawning above ground. They were not very menacing, as they would hover around and do 
damage, but would retreat if punched a few times with any tool/weapon (even bare hands).
Modern appearance
The modern incarnation of the Oerkki is provided by the Simple Mobs mod by PilzAdam. It features a more detailed 3D model instead of a flat sprite, as well as colliding with the player, but otherwise its behavior is mostly the same.
