When Minecraft meets phylogenetic taxonomy, you get this beautiful monstrosity. Someone actually took the time to organize Minecraft mobs into a proper evolutionary tree - complete with phyla, classes, and orders. The best part? They've classified slimes as platyhelminthes (flatworms), which is scientifically questionable but aesthetically perfect. Nothing says "I understand cladistics" like putting a ghast in the same category as a squid. Taxonomy nerds are having simultaneous heart attacks and epiphanies right now.
