"There were also abominable creatures haunting the reeds and tussocks that from the sound of them were evil relatives of the cricket. There were thousands of them, and they squeaked all round, neek-breek, breek-neek, unceasingly all the night, until the hobbits were nearly frantic." - The Fellowship of the Ring, A Knife in the Dark.

The Midgewater Marshes are indeed very well done in the mod, however, they are missing one very important thing: Neekerbreekers!

A new mob should be introduced, possibly called a "Marsh Cricket", or a "Neekerbreeker", as Sam Gamgee called them. These mobs would be about the same size as Exploding Termites, and have about the same health. They would spawn only in the Midgewater Marshes, preferably only in/near tall grass. There should be no loot obtained from killing them, however, they should drop 1 XP orb, and reward you with +1 Bree alignment (when Bree is added).

They should do nothing, except moving, and their forte: Chirping. These crickets would make very loud sounds, preferably annoying ones. They could be caught in a Butterfly Jar, and, when placed, still make noise. This would be a somewhat useless, yet a marvelously fun method of torture for your enemies, or friends, as you see fit!

If this would make the Marshes unbearable, then perhaps the quagmire in the Midgewater Marshes should be changed to something (slightly) less dangerous, to compensate.

Suggestions and Criticism welcome!
