This datapack depends on: DrakonCore
The latest horror of the undead, known as Shiny Toes, remains largely unknown to my order. The survivors among us seem familiar with this sort of creature, but they do not share their knowledge easily. What little we have learned is detailed here.
It is clear that Shiny Toes are far quicker, stronger, and more durable than the average zombie. Most striking is their glowing armor—how they came to possess such magic is beyond me. Perhaps it’s a blessing from Agni.
Despite their inferior armaments, even our best knights have trouble fighting these creatures. They are astoundingly mobile—I could swear that at times they moved faster than the eye could track. I tremble at the thought of facing more than one at once.
They tend to stay above ground, but as I learned on the trek to Afthonia, can catch your scent from a very long distance. They are relentless hunters, and seem more adept than most of the shambling dead at catching their opponent unawares.
Finally, while observing skirmishes I have occasionally witnessed some unseen force shoving our combatants into the Shiny Toe’s reach. How this is accomplished is entirely a mystery, much like the creature itself.
One thing we do know with absolute certainty—they came from the north.

Shiny Toes are new Zombie mini-bosses added by this datapack. Remnants of the Horde from days long past, Shiny Toes (named for their gleaming golden boots) are harder, better, faster, and stronger than your average zombie. They have a 1 in 50 chance to spawn in place of a normal Zombie, and have enhanced powers that make them a dangerous threat. Shiny Toes are inspired by mobs of the same name in the gamemode MineZ 2, developed (and discontinued) by the Shotbow Network.
To the unprepared, Shiny Toes can be lethal adversaries. The best option is to snipe it away with your bow; otherwise, melee combat can be dangerous even with good armor. It is incredibly difficult to flee or hide from Shiny Toes due to their unique abilities, so it is recommended to focus on dealing damage to the Shiny Toe and killing it as quickly as possible.
