Shulkers are hostile End mobs found in end cities. A shulker attaches to a solid face, usually keeps its shell closed, and does not use ordinary ground movement.

Sounds

The entity has different ambient, open, close, hurt and death sounds. The bullet has its own launch and impact feedback.

Behavior

When open, a shulker exposes its body and fires guided shulker bullets at nearby targets. A bullet applies levitation on hit. The shulker can teleport up to 8 blocks to a valid attachment position and closes its shell to defend itself.
