Personally I would love to see more monsters on the server.. I'm not sure how much power/programming things of this nature would take to implement but how cool would it to be to have randomly spawned cave trolls guarding treasure. Or groups of goblins camping around in the forests.

On a side note, some sort of rare/random boss mobs would be entertaining to run across as well. Something that might take more than one person to kill while giving some sort of worthwhile reward when it's defeated.

Good idea? Bad idea?

Eyebrows, I think he means SPAWNING the entities, not having their abilities. In terms of the suggestion, I think that's impossible. I think Bukkit has a spawning mobs function, but even so it can't spawn new mobs that Mojang never created.

Yea, I wasn't sure, but thought I'd suggest anyway. But even if we are stuck with basic MC mobs, I would image there being away to maybe make 'Elite' versions of those mobs spawn. Like a Skeleton King or something with more health or armor and can shoot multiple arrows. Impossible? Maybe.. Cool? Definitely :)

You can't make one specific instance or two of a mob have the stats. I think there is a way to make mobs be more stronger, but I don't see why this is necessary. Otherwise, this is useless.
 
It would be interesting to see "elite" monsters, like the ones in Herobrine's Mansion (Great map btw). Or even the occasional goblin in the forest. However, I think the coding for that would be quite a challenge, or near impossible. Something in the future, maybe, but I don't see it happening any time soon.
 
Alternatively, we could all get Spout. Okay, okay, sheesh, it's a bad idea, I'm just tossing it out there. Anyway, there are already 'elite' mobs of sorts... if you've noticed, some mobs can pick up weapons and tools to fight, and some skeletons and zombies spawn with armor. For diversity, we just need more races, so suggest some!
 
Suggest this until the new API is released.
 
To everyone who said this is impossible, do some research before showing off your ignorance.

M0'Creatures has a SMP mod that allows all sorts of creatures to be added to SERVERS since before 1.3.2

There is even a bukkit version, it does use some client side patching it's been many revisions since I built a server with it. Point is, it's very possible to add what the OP suggested.
