Gusters are hostile mobs that spawn in Desert and Badlands biomes during the rain.
Behavior[]
Gusters are aggressive and will attack by shooting sand at their target.
Gusters can also pull up nearby mobs and spin them up into the air before they fall back down and take damage.
Gusters usually take on their standard variant, however, if they are spawned in a Badlands or Soul Sand Valley biome, they will take on the red and soul variants respectively.
Gusters can be damaged by Water.

- Gusters are likely inspired by Dust Devils, a type of sand tornado in real life.

| "Gusters are vengeful desert spirits that only manifest during storms in Deserts. These creatures are inherently hostile, and will seek to throw their targets high up into the air, or shoot a stream of sand at them. Gusters also lift up any dropped item and toss it, making gathering monster drops difficult. Gusters are formed out of local sands, and if in an area with Soul Sand or Red Sand, they will take the colors of these sediments. Although powerful, Gusters are not very fortified creatures. However, their almost ethereal presence makes them more resistant to projectile attacks than most monsters. When slain, Gusters will drop Sand, and occasionally one of their eyes. These eyes can be used to craft a Gustmaker, a block that, when powered with Redstone, releases a small gust storm. This little gust can push creatures and items around. The eye can also be used to create a Pocket of Sand, which can be used as a weapon." |
