These two mobs in Minecraft are the closest in behavior to the protagonist character. The villagers are passive mobs living in villages, while pillagers are hostile mobs that live in outposts and woodland mansions.

There is a theory where it explains how villagers were essentially an old civilization like our characters and invented different professions and iron golems to protect themselves. But soon they lost the ability to handle weapons and tools.

Another theory is how Pillagers are exiled Villagers who were thrown out of villages for some crimes and hence they became outcasts. That's the reason they raid villages constantly and have the same appearance.

Scores of players have wondered why there are special type structures and mobs under water. The answer is in the secret history books of Minecraft. Ocean Monuments, Sunken Ships, and Ocean Ruins are some of the structures found underwater with many drowned zombies.

These zombie mobs were in fact normal human characters. Long back, there were certain parts of the water bed which were normal land. A natural calamity like a tsunami or a flood drowned most of the civilization and its structures, which as a result, are now underwater.

Soon mysterious creatures like Guardians came along and ruled the Monument, now known as Ocean Monument.

1) Enderman theory

Arguably the most mysterious character in Minecraft is Enderman. These long black teleporting creatures may look quite alien to players, but they are speculated to be the closest to the character that players control.

Enderman is theorized as an ancient race of people like Steve, although they were much more advanced. They are responsible for exploring various realms, and building structures in Minecraft long before players set out on their first adventure.

As they thrived in the world, they discovered the End and made End cities to keep their most valuable possessions hidden. But due to the wrath of Ender Dragon, they were stuck there and gradually converted into Enderman. They starved and had to eat chorus fruit, which "ended" up giving them the ability to teleport.
