Oh, man. We're still a good week and some change away from the highly anticipated Halloween update for Minecraft, but we're already filled with raw, seething hate for the creatures depicted above. They're called "Ghasts," and they're a new type of enemy which only appears in the new hell-like dimension which players can fast-travel through using homemade obsidian portals, where the red rocks which compose the floor, walls and ceiling can burn eternally. Sounds just delightful, doesn't it?

PC Gamer recently checked out the new area -- and its hovering, flame-spitting inhabitants -- in an early preview. If you want to be prepared for the Ghasts' particularly unpleasant form of attack, we suggest you start doing your research.
