Heatlands

Page made by The Firecraft Fanon, inspired by Egypt. Work in Progress.
The Heatlands, otherwise known as Megadeserts are not a new or separate dimension per se, but is an extremely large Megabiome, a broad and comprehensive landscape, bigger than normal biomes. It is somewhat uncommon, consisting mostly of sand, sandstone and its variants. It is a larger and more expansive version of Deserts, with more features and structures.
== Description ==
Unlike regular deserts, Heatlands are less desolate with extra structures, however the only vegetation remain as dead bushes and cacti. Among the mobs that can spawn in the Heatlands, the only passive, or neutral mobs seem to only be rabbits. Entities such as Dust Poachers and their Chieftain variant spawn in Desolate Ruins. Villages, outposts and desert temples (as well as desert wells, but who cares about them?) spawn in them too.

=== Dust Poacher ===
Dust Poachers are a small, goblin-like species about 0.75 blocks in height. It is covered in old papyrus cloth, in similar fashion to a mummy. They normally do not wield any weapons, however, they can spawn with stone or iron swords, most likely with 25% or less percentage. It deals 1.5 damage per hit, with a 3.5 chance of a critical hit. It has 15 health points.
Dust Poachers have a special ability, which is to acquire one of your items. It will deliberately purloin one of the less rarer items in your inventory, but it can steal your valuables if you don't have common items in your inventory. The chance it can steal one of your items is approximately 1 in 15. Once you have defeated the Dust Poacher who stole one of your items, it has a 95% chance of dropping it.
To get a guaranteed likelihood, the player must harm the Dust Poacher with a Fortune I-III sword, or a sword enchanted with Smite. They can be found within Desolate Ruins, or at the aid of Pillagers at their outposts (Megadeserts unique feature).
==== Chieftain Dust Poacher ====
Chieftain Dust Poachers are a larger and more powerful version of Dust Poachers.
