Hotdog

A player with a hotdog on his/her head.

A Hotdog equipped with Leather armor.

First of all: No, you can't eat it!

The Hotdog is an allied mob that can be tamed with Bones and will fight for the player (much like the Wolf mob). They are one of the most memorable mobs in MoreCreeps and Weirdos since they play a major role in the mod.

Uses

Hotdogs are very useful during battles against hard enemies. A Hotdog will drop 0-1 unit of Raw Porkchop upon death, which means there isn't much point of killing these delightful creatures. They come in 3 different textures.

Behaviour

A Hotdog equipped with Diamond armor and a Redstone power-up.

Normal

Hotdogs will wander around the terrain aimlessly like the majority of the other mobs do. They will not attack if the player attacks them.

Tamed

The Hotdog will follow the player wherever and can also be picked up and placed on the players head. They will do anything to protect their rightful owner. If they spot an aggressive mob, they will fight it until either the Hotdog or the opponent is terminated. When a Hotdog dies, a Tombstone will appear indicating where the Hotdog died. It can be revived using a Life Gem, which can be purchased from Sneaky Sal. However, once the Hotdog is revived it will be downgraded one level.

Special Abilities

• Redstone Attack: RIGHT-CLICK your Hotdog with Redstone in your hand to give your Hotdog a fire attack. This will deal more damage to your opponents and is recommended to use when the Hotdog is a low rank.
• Speed: If the player trains his or her Hotdog enough, it will be granted the ability to teleport to the player if it cannot access to the player.
• Healing: Your Hotdog will heal itself once you train it enough. This can be very helpful since it prevents the player having to obtain Bones constantly.
• Defense: Training your Hotdog will also make your Hotdog take less damage from other enemies
• Secret Freeze attack: When given a ton of snowballs in a snowy biome, followed by 3 ice.

Training

Although Hotdogs can be tamed with Bones, they also have to trained with Bones or meat. The meat can be raw or cooked. Each level costs a different amount of Bones or meat. This will really help the player if you train your Hotdog enough. Try to train it as much as you can to level it up.

Armor

The Hotdog training center. As you can see the Hotdog has been upgraded in the Attack and Speed sections.

Hotdogs can be equipped with any kind of armor except for Chainmail Armor. This also includes equipping Zebra Armor to your Hotdogs. This is the only part of Minecraft where Gold Armor is relevent; if the player were to equip a Hotdog with Gold Armor, it would seem very powerful and protective for the Hotdog. The best armor to put on your Hotdog is Diamond armor; try to equip it on the Hotdog as soon as possible. However, for decorative purposes, cow leather armour makes them look like they are wearing tomato sauce (hotdog reference), and zebra leather is pretty for the stripes.
