Mob C, or "The Great Hunger" was a proposed mob featured in the Mob Vote during MINECON Earth 2017, alongside the barnacle, the phantom and the wildfire.^[1]

It was a lizard-like creature that sinks into the ground, camouflages itself and consumes mobs and items with its huge mouth. It has a "great appetite for enchanting powers" and Jeb says that viewers should vote for Mob C because players may be able to use the mob's abilities to add or remove enchantments for players' own items.^[2] It was colored green and gray.^[3] The ability to remove enchantments was later added in the form of the grindstone block.

The great hunger received 26% of the votes in the first round and moved onto the second,^[4] receiving 35% votes, but then lost with 48% of the votes in the final.^[5]

• Upon being asked,^[6] Jens Bergensten revealed on Bluesky that The Great Hunger was the only mob in the 2017 Mob Vote that did not have an actual name.^[7]
• The mob is referenced in Terra Swoop Force, one of the death messages joking about the player voting for it.
• In Minecraft Dungeons II, many mobs, such as baby sifters and nesters, resemble the Great Hunger. However, this was not intended.^[8]
